Comments on: More Tiguan Production Photos http://www.volksbloggin.com/2007/12/07/more-tiguan-production-photos/ Reviews, opinions and rants on all things Volkswagen Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:06:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Mathew Maher http://www.volksbloggin.com/2007/12/07/more-tiguan-production-photos/comment-page-1/#comment-149631 Mathew Maher Sat, 10 May 2008 23:41:11 +0000 http://www.volksbloggin.com/2007/12/07/more-tiguan-production-photos/#comment-149631 Well, I just got my first chance to see, sit, and tinker around with the Tiguan at the dealership today. And, well... Volkswagen has done an outstanding job with the Tiguan. I was pleasantly blown-away with the quality and simplicity of the machine. I was pleased with the photos and what I've read online about the TIguan, but now that I've seen it in person - well, like I said - I was pleasantly blown away with the new CUV, and now I'm confident that Volkswagen can take on (and even beat-out) the Honda CR-V, Toyota Rav-4, Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda Tribute. The only complaints are: 1) 2.0T is standard, I think the 2.5L should be. 2) The TDI motor isn't here - yet. I'm sure VW has a good reason for using the 2.0T instead of the 2.5L motor, I'm looking forward to seeing how the TDI will make its way into the market. I assume that it'll do fantastic considering the current gas prices. Two major thumbs up for VW designers & engineers!

I personally highly dislike them... Hopefully the large display of the Stereo will make it less visible... Ive only seen the one with the lousy small screen w/o touchscreen stereo in person.

I took a look at it on the high res version of the photo and I can't tell what it would be used for. :P I first thought maybe a slot for inserting nav system cds (if they were those smaller cds or something) but that's typically done in the regular music cd slot.

As always, I'll have to reserve my judgement for when I see it in person. Hmmm….something about it just screams “Kia Sportage” to me.
