#8 of 2207 I agree by scirocco22 Mar 15, 2002 (3:35 pm)
diploid-- yeah, it would seem to me that it would make much more sense from a marketing standpoint to make the Cayenne an Audi. But I suppose they want to portray the image of an ultra-high-perforance SUV ...something that would far outclass the X5 and RX300. As Steve implies, it sounds like it will be the VW model which will compete with those two vehicles. It sustains VW's strategy of continuing to offer more upscale vehicles which personally disappoints me. IMHO, VW should concentrate on making affordable cars exremely reliable to compete with Honda, Toyota and the like and leave the upscale vehicles to their Audi division.   Steve-- Wow! ...so you were actually able to see a pre-production model, eh? I suppose you weren't able to take pics at this marketing survey function you attended. I'd still like to see a snapshot. Where was this marketing survey located? Is it moving around the country? I wonder if I could get invited to one of these things!? *lol*   --'rocco
#9 of 2207 Marketing survey by sjwsmw Mar 19, 2002 (12:49 pm)
rocco- No, no cameras, phones, kids. I didn't even know the VW was going to be there. It was a suprise and they just said be careful with the switches and accessories as it was a prototype and not up to typical quality standards. The survey just came in the mail, nothing preplanned. The moderator made a comment that this was the 'last go-round' of market tests. I agree with the upscale comment. But that seems to be their company direction with the Pheaton etc.
#11 of 2207 Magellan? by scirocco22 Apr 02, 2002 (4:41 am)
Steve-- Did it look like this?: Click Here   The Magellan supposedly will be Audis rendition of the Touareg and Cayenne(?):   http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=296602   --'rocco
#13 of 2207 Magellan-NOT by sjwsmw Apr 05, 2002 (8:55 am)
No, the Magellan is something all together different. The nearest pictures that I have seen are at: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=234990 scroll down to obelix posts. The blue color looks the same that I saw in person. The only difference is the tail lights/rear section didn't protrude outward so much, it was more sleek.
#14 of 2207 Ah Okay by scirocco22 Apr 06, 2002 (7:33 am)
Steve-- The pic of the Magellan and the Touareg prototype that you saw really don't appear or seem to share the same platform as is stated in the article that I previously posted ...odd. I suppose we'll see more reliable pics late in the spring or during summer as the launch date in Europe gets closer. Thanx for your response.   --'rocco

#17 of 2207 7 seat configuration by luongh Apr 29, 2002 (7:22 am)
Are there any chance VW going to offer a seven seat configuration? This will be interesting.
