Revenge of the Touareg
Thrill-seekers and theme park junkies, take note --
Volkswagen has signed a deal with Universal Studios to include the Touareg in its "psychological
thrill" park ride, "The Revenge of the Mummy," at its Hollywood and Orlando theme parks. Based on
the movie of the same name, "The Revenge of the Mummy" begins as a cloth-wrapped Touareg stops to pick up
passengers, then embarks upon a wild ride involving scary mummified creatures, gross bugs and big explosions. Sounds
like fun to us.

So wait: Is the Toureg what you ride the ride in, or is it just sitting beside the entrance?

its actually been outside the ride for a few months now. and all it is, is a parked Touareg, kinda parked on an angle, wrapped with cloth wrappings. totally blows this story outta proportion.

Will the on-track Toureg break down and quit moving, just like the real thing?

Is the ride track on a giant right turning circle so that the straight steered Touareg can negiotiate it sucessfully?

Ah VW, if only you had stuck with your calling in life and made an SUV for the people, and decontented the Touareg to compete with the Nissan Xterras of the world, you would have had a big hit on your hands. Oh, and picked a better name...
Now you're just trying to peddle the thing through amusement park promotions? Sad.
I miss the old VW. Before they went insane.

I own a 2004 Touareg and have found that its the best SUV I have owned. Still going strong for 54,000 miles.

My oh my are they a real off-roading machine, too. Extremely capable, despite their bulk. I was beyond impressed. (I did question if you'd really want to take $50K off road...but people in Land Cruisers do it)
