I realise they have come a long way, make lots of torque, are efficient etc etc. But they dont rev, sound awful, and are significantly heavier over the front axle line. They're about as sporty as John Howard with a cricket bat, and while most of you here obviously don't care about that (and thats fine, if not a bit weird for a car enthusiast forum) I'd prefer to buy something that I can enjoy taking for a blast through the mountains or to a track day.

Just saw a new V dub R line Touareg the other day. V8 Tdi. No diesel noise at all, and I mean AT ALL. Simply amazing.
