    I had to share since we all know we already have one of these in our garage... except ours isn't by Volkswagen...

    Those mud flaps on the rear are terrible.

    Also needs a painted skid plate on the rear to finish it.

    Not a VW fan

    but I like this one. Not sure what that thing on the roof is from the front looks like a mohawk. It also appears to duplicate the VXs limited rear window visibility

    Its a rally equiped tuerag. TDI engine. Give it a Redbull paintjob and it looks just like the Dakar rigs that dominated the race. The "mohawk" on top is the air vent and the flaps are common (and I think manditory) in rally events.
    Unfortunately the people who will fork out the big $$$ for these are the same grocery getting/mall crawl types that bought Hummers (99% will never see dirt).

    Looks very cool BUT the roof scoop needs to be shrunk & seems like it would need a lower rear bumper for street driving.

    If it actually came out, the final product would probably look like a regular touraeg with some stickers and a spoiler.
