Volkswagen Touareg
The Touareg has been revamped for 2011, just like its twin brother, the Porsche Cayenne. This second generation features new technological advancements, including an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission that works with a 280-hp 3.6-litre V6 or a V6 3.0-litre diesel engine which is just fantastic . It comes in three models, with a base price just under $50,000. 4Motion all-wheel drive is factory-standard on this plus-size SUV.
