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.
#28 of 127 No Tiguan Diesel in the US. by galvang Jan 19, 2008 (8:41 am)
It's to bad they will not be shipping the Diesel variant here in the US. It would have been the top of my list for a commuter SUV. More than likely its not a clean diesel engine. Hopefully they'll reconsider and possibly ship one with Bluetec Diesel.   I saw the Tiguan at the LA auto show. It looked great. The aesthetics in German Engineering beats its japanese rivals by quite a bit. Nice ute!! Replies to this message: smpool (Jan 19, 2008 1:20 pm)

Replying to: galvang (Jan 19, 2008 8:41 am) I also would love to see VW bring the Bluetec diesel here. It would be #1 on my list too.

Here's some info bits:   The Tiguan is arriving late to the crossover party. When it goes on sale in May (08)next year with pricing starting in the mid-20s.   U.S. models will come ashore with VW's tried and true, 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo. We've been told the automaker's 2.0-liter turbodiesel (set to make its U.S. debut in the 2008 Jetta) is all but assured as an eventual option.   VW's optional, redesigned touch-screen navigation is a major improvement and features a neat 3D pullback effect. Other interesting techno bits include an electronic park brake with a hill-holder feature that we found came in handy when using the six-speed manual, a backup camera, and a park-assist function that automatically aids in parallel-parking maneuvers. Of course, many of these options will likely push that mid-20s pricing into the 30s fairly quickly, but they're the kinds of features you'll normally find on vehicles far higher up the luxury vehicle food chain.   If the Tiguan takes off in the States, we may see the 28-degree mud and the off-road feature at some point, but it won't be available at launch. Instead, we'll get the base, S trim similar to what VW calls Trend & Fun in Europe, along with the up-level SE trim, aka Sport & Style. Front-drive and 4Motion models will be available. VW's latest-generation 4Motion system uses a Haldex clutch mounted at the rear axle that keeps 90 percent of the power to the front wheels during normal driving and moves it to the other wheels when the system deems necessary. The 4Motion system will be available only with the six-speed automatic for the U.S. The Tiguan will not come with VW's DSG as a transmission option.   2009 Volkswagen Tiguan Base Price $25,000 (est) Vehicle Layout Front engine, FWD/AWD, 5-pass, 4-door SUV Engine 2.0-liter/200-hp/207-lb-ft DOHC 16-valve turbocharged I-4 Transmission 6-speed manual; 6-speed automatic Curb Weight 3400 lb (mfr) Wheelbase 102.5 in Length x Width x Height 174.3 x 71.2 x 66.3 in 0-60 MPH 7.5 sec (MT est) EPA City/HWY Econ N/A CO2 Emissions N/A On Sale In U.S. May-08 Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jan 23, 2008 9:11 am) firehouse46 (Jan 25, 2008 10:30 am) kirstie_h (Jan 25, 2008 10:35 am) batman47 (Feb 05, 2008 1:55 pm) batman47 (Feb 05, 2008 1:58 pm) akboss (Feb 14, 2008 12:59 pm) feliciatwo (Mar 21, 2008 6:13 am)

Replying to: donthegreek (Jan 22, 2008 8:39 pm) At the NAIAS in Detroit, the literature stated that prices would start at $23,490..   Of course, I would assume that is FWD, manual trans, and without destination charges..   In reality, since the 4-door GTI starts at around the same price, I'd say most examples with AWD and automatic will be in the $26K range... with loaded models being $30K-$31K...   It is very nice looking in person..

Replying to: firehouse46 (Jan 25, 2008 10:30 am) Hi firehouse46 - since this is the Tiguan discussion, I'm going to send you to the Volkswagen Jetta TDI discussion instead, where you're more likely to get answers. If you type "TDI" or "diesel" into the search box, you'll get a list of other diesel-related discussions.
