#18 of 127 Re: 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan Diesel [eldaino] by fenris2 Aug 05, 2007 (3:32 pm)
Replying to: eldaino (Jun 28, 2007 12:02 pm) There are indeed 140 hp and 170 vesions of the 2.0. But whether we get that, or a 2.5, or just the 2.0 140 is anyone's guess at this point I suppose. I would assume support/training/parts alone would favor the 2.0 choice, but then again I am not as odd thinking as VWoA lol.   I actually did not think of the 2.5 since the 2.0 has a 195hp version for Audi, although I think that is just show car.

Ford has made a Diesel "Kuga" (looks like RAV4) and of course it's for.... the UK. Toyota, Ford, Honda; everybody and their brother know how to do Clean Diesel. Why aren't they giving us (USA) a Zillion options in SUV clean Diesel for 2008? We're ready.

t is a pity that the VW Tiguan “Track and Field” 5-seats will be no imported to the US next year. This vehicle has proper off-road characteristics that can be activated manually when the situation arise. It has an angle of 28-degree (approach) and 25-degree (departure), good fording depth, good lateral inclination and good climbing ability. The Tiguan has a sophisticated hardware and electronic mechanism that made this to happen. The mechanism affects the AWD and the front and rear suspension. VW America said that will only import this car if there is enough realistic demand for the car. So you see there is a car that can have realistic off-road capability and on-road car smooth behavior. You will see that this design approach will be copied by the competition (Asia) on the next 5-years. Only the Land Rover LR2 comes near to the Tiguan (not quite near). Shall we start to organize a petition?
#22 of 127 Yes to "Tack & Field Petition by feliciatwo Nov 22, 2007 (1:35 pm)
Hey Batman47, I'm all for it. How far beyond the price range of the Clean diesel Tiguan. My priority is to have the clean diesel with enough torgue (sp) for towing my boat (18 feet) . The approach & departure would be much appreciated....but can VW electric be counted on in the near years to come? heard their reliability was improving.

Replying to: feliciatwo (Nov 22, 2007 1:35 pm) I was in the Frankfurt car show this year and the Tiguan was an instant hit. The car in its 3-models will be sold from February 2008 in Europe. Petrol and diesel is the norm. For the moment VW is offering the 2.0 litres only but it is expected to increase the size of the engine. The 2.0L is turbo and produce neat 200HP. Only the Track & Field has the angle 28-degree the other two has only 18-degree. Price will be near the $20,000 and has a good petrol consume above 27 miles per gallon.
#24 of 127 reliability by quips Dec 09, 2007 (5:49 am)
The vehicle looks like a brute really ... comes across like a Mercedes too: a real German look. Besides that I'm hoping that it is as sturdy and reliable as it looks. VW has had a problem with that in the past. I'll wait until the diesel versions of both the Jetta and Tiguan come out to decide on whether to buy one or the other or neither. I've heard Subaru may come out with a diesel too. Replies to this message: feliciatwo (Mar 28, 2008 7:03 am) nuthead (Mar 28, 2008 7:35 am) feliciatwo (Mar 29, 2008 10:41 am)
#25 of 127 mpg by quips Dec 09, 2007 (6:07 am)
My choice will be based also on versitility and value, i.e. mpg and comfort. I'm looking for good performance on the roads, but no rocket ship or anything close to that.
#26 of 127 New York Auto Show by birdboy Jan 12, 2008 (12:13 pm)
Will the Tiguan be at the NY Auto show this year? The NY autoshow site does not seem to show it? last year it was a no show as well. Does know? Thanks Replies to this message: batman47 (Jan 16, 2008 3:42 am)

Replying to: birdboy (Jan 12, 2008 12:13 pm) The Tiguan was shown at the LA auto show Nov 2007, I think. I think VW is thinking how to make sense of the very high price of this car in Europe (more than $40,000) and sell it here in US at $25,000-$30,00. Big dilemma indeed. Perhaps VW of America decides not to import this car. Let's see.
