I'm no treehugger and I stand by what I said. 99% of SUV drivers are soccer moms who should buy a wagon or minivan if they had any sense. Performance SUVs are the height of ridiculousness. Buy a friggen 5 series and be done with it, you can't make a tractor into a track day toy. Even a garden variety V6 Accord is faster than this dinosaur.

If you're not a treehugger then why would SUVs elicit such strong negative emotions? People have reasons for driving SUVs that are no less valid than driving a sedan, sometimes "friggin 5 series" just wouldn't do. As for this Touareg being no faster than V6 Accord, check out X5 4.8 or Cayenne Turbo-they would change your idea about tractors on racetracks.

Actually, V6 Accord is kind of rapid. 6.7 seconds to 60 is a time the Honda is capable of.
