I am very sure it will. I also own a Toyota RAV-4 which does it's job well, but is just missing something. My expectations are that the Tiguan can provide that extra something for about the same price range. If VW delivers some of the things on the prototype (e.g. hard disk storage, 2.0T with 6 spd dsg trans,i-pod) I think it will actually sell pretty well. Of course it won't sell as many as Toyota or Honda, but VW is getting back to what it does best, produce cars for the people. I personally love the Toureg, but it is outside my price range and gas mileage isn't so great. I already have my mind set...can't wait for next year!

The Tiguan, yes looks great, IS Diesel. What about caste-iron reliability we all can expect from Honda, & Toyota By 2009 we WILL have a bluetec option from all the manufacturers. Meanwhie, Tiguan ---looks the best, will be here first, and I'm tempted.

there is a 170 hp variant? because i know the tiguan is supposed to get the revised 2.5 engine with 170 hp, but i thought the diesel would simply be bigger rather than higher output.

I was just wondering. Does anyone know WHEN is Tiguan is due to arrive in the US ?
When do 2008's usually arrive?
Edmunds pictures of the Tiguan ARE bland. So too, are its' pictures of the Mini Clubman. Meanwhele,NOTHING about EITHER are bland.
Visit b>other sites for the German Videos of Tiguan...and you'll be hooked. Still, does anyone know where it will be made, and has Volkswagon improved reliabily-wise than in years past?

Some say summer while others say fall...so probably somewhere in between...although it is scheduled to be out in Europe later this year. It will be made in Germany. I have owned an 2006 Passat for about 2 1/2 years now and so far no problems...I would say they are improving on quality.

Here are some of the latest pictures. I will definitely wait for this one! Wish it had the chrome front end though, but still looks great.

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.

From what I read, we'll get the 2.0 gas turbo first, then the 2.0 diesel. The diesel is 140hp and 200lbs torque. That should be plenty. I'm hoping maybe 35mpg? If so, it will have no competition.
