Hey congrats on the purchase.

VW Touareg is really good. ( saw one today ) Looks damn good too.

What all options have you opted for?

entropy · 24th January 2009, 07:25

Thanks guys. I hope the delivery process is smooth and timely. Color of the car is Galapagos Anthracite (blackish grey). Interiors are beige (hmm..) though I was confused between Latte Macchiato and beige but chose beige as didn't knew how exactly latte would look. Beige is a well tried/used color and should help make the cabin look roomy. Following are the options I have chosen on the standard Touareg.

- Metallic paint
- RHD Package for VI
- Power latching of Trunk Lid
- Cruise Control
- Chrome Package
- 4 Zone 'Climatronic' as double air conditioning system
- 18"" Alloy wheels Valley.
- Multifunct leather steering wheel with wood rim.
- Decorative wood inserts in Ornamental wood Burr Walnut

rain sensors, footwell lights, Auto low beam, etc)

headlights washer

- Silver Roof Rails and roof profile strips.
- Anti - theft alarm system with electronic engine immobilzer
passenger comp control, backup horn, towing protection
- Front Fog lamps
- 230 Volt Socket in luggage compartment
- Memory Package Premiium.(steering column elect adjustment
with memory, Front seats12 way adjustment with memory,
seat belts adjustment with memory, Exterior mirrors auto dimming
foldable, heated with memory)
- Air Suspension with automatic level control and height and
electronic absorption control

Congrats on a perfectly loaded SUV ! OTR price aint that bad considering it's a CBU, if only VW wakes up and begins assembling it here, the car would give a tough fight to the 5 series and E class.

Yes did consider Montero but
- Felt the engine was bit underpowered
- Average on road performance
- Wanted a european/german car this time

Touareg is supposed to get a model change earliest by the end of 2010. We should see it on road sometimes in 2011. Too late ..

Congratulations on the purchase Entropy.

It's quite a good looking car IMO. Waiting for pictures when you finally get it.

akshay4587 · 24th January 2009, 17:34

whoa thats a pretty exhaustive and impressive equipment list

congrats again

entropy · 27th January 2009, 20:06

Thanks for all the congrats folks.

Had Forgot to list two options in the list below:

- Keyless entry and start/stop (for hawa-paani)
- luggage arrangement package (seems to be quite neat and useful!)

FlyingSpur · 27th January 2009, 20:21

Congrats !! You just bought my favourite SUV man. Especially the V10 TDI looks insane and goes like stink too. Nice combo of shades for exterior-interior.

GTO · 28th January 2009, 12:00
