What are you trying to accomplish here? If you like your Touareg, then great, enjoy it. Don't keep trying to throw the fact that you can afford one up in everyone's face. I think you'd be surprised at the backgrounds of some of the folks here; we don't all play with old VWs because we can't afford anything else. My GTI has provided me with reliable transportation for the better part of my adult life, and I can honestly say that this car is more of a status symbol to me than a Touareg (or any vehicle for that matter) could ever be. I get a great deal of ribbing from friends and family for not buying a new car, but the satisfaction (and nostalgia) that I derive from driving and maintaining my GTI is immeasurable, and it has nothing to do with its price tag or social cachet.
I think it's sad that people have allowed the advertising machine to brainwash them into believing that they are no more then what they drive. I've heard it all before...I bought this SUV for the safety of my family, the security of 4-wheel drive, the towing capacity, the cargo capacity, the
7-person seating...I got the leather interior because it's easier to clean up the kid's spills...I really didn't want the chrome wheels, they just came with the vehicle...blah, blah, blah. A year later, the same people are buying Mini Coopers for a completely new set of reasons. It all comes down to social status, to "keeping up with the Jones", and it's particularly pathetic to watch.
But enough about you. If you have a specific question about one of your VWs, then ask the group's opinion. If your physically able, get your hands dirty a bit by contributing to the maintenance of your own car. You may find that it's a lot more satisfying then sitting in your mechanic's waiting room sipping a latte and thumbing through old issues of Time magazine. Cheaper too. Take advantage of the resources this group has to offer instead of trying to piss everyone off!!!!!!
