2010 Volkswagen Touareg TDI (32x47)

:

Cars used to trust us, and the 2010 Volkswagen Touareg TDI is proof that a different kind of automotive world used to exist. In this episode of Race to the Bottom, I take a look at the crossover that actually crossed over: an SUV powerful enough to tow a car with a horse inside of it, yet comfortable enough to make the trip from Quebec to Philadelphia without a problem. The Volkswagen Touareg arrived in a time before Dieselgate, and it was an SUV that didn't think you needed to be protected from yourself. You're not going to see any lane keep assist, constant alerts, or software that paywalls the fun. But is it good enough to make my Top 5? The 2010 Volkswagen Touareg is the latest entrant in the Race to the Bottom, and it believes in you.
