The Touareg is Volkswagen's entry in the SUV market. Developed in conjunction with the Porsche Cayenne, the Touareg offers a luxurious interior paired with a chassis and drive system that is more than capable off-road as well as on-road. The Touareg starts at around $40,000 for the V6 powered model. The diesel powered model is priced from $44,000 and adds more torque and improved mileage. A healthy list of price option packages can easily add upwards of $10,000 to the base price. On paper, the Touareg has a lot going for it, but its premium pricing places it in competition with a lot of models with more prestige than that of the "people's car".
