It’s safe to say we were the only hybrid on the dusty off-road trails just off California’s Highway 138 near Silverwood Lake. In fact, we were just about the only vehicle at all that day, save for a Ford F-150 that we encountered a couple miles in. The trails out here exist primarily so that the railroads and the gas and electric utilities can access various remote service locations sprinkled throughout the rough hilly terrain that separates the Los Angeles basin from the vast desert of eastern California. In other words, it’s not a place for wimpy vehicles. Luckily, we were in a Volkswagen Touareg...FULL STORY AND GALLERY

dont think the price is justified by the mpg gain, although the power gains deff make it sting a little less. id really like to see a tdi hybrid, especialy in the touareg. now that i wouldnt mind dropping 60k on :)
