2004 Volkswagen Touareg V6 Road Test
I just couldn't get my head around how Volkswagen was somehow going to stick a 220 horsepower V6 into a 2,300 plus kilogram (5,000 plus pound) vehicle and make it entertaining to drive. That is until I drove it. While the new 3.2-liter V6, that incidentally makes a maximum of 225 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 rpm, is nowhere near as exciting during open throttle as the 310 horsepower 4.2-liter V8 that I first tested, I was expecting to be completely let down.
