I like it. If I was absurdly rich I would buy one...after I got the rust cut out of my 71 bus.

Saw it in yesterdays telegragh.

Certainly comes under the "What the fuck were they thinking" catagory.

At last something that will give the country buggy a run for it's money as the ugliest VW..........:cool:

Umm...no, though it does look similar. They used the Tarek, a four-cylinder diesel, 5-speed manual, rear-wheel-drive only special. It looks a bit like the Concept T, but doesn't share anything. VW marketing have done their best to confuse and blur the lines as much as possible, even referring to the Tarek as a Touareg, which it doesn't even resemble.

It's difficult to say whether I like something on the initial impression, I thought it was interesting that it obviously acknowledges the beach buggy as a styling cue, a design that vw has no claims to, it also takes elements from the Tarek, a Paris Dakar racing special.

There has been TV coverage on SBS in Melb. every night at around 6pm of the Paris Dakar rally, any one who isn't familiar whith this event should try to catch the last few stages.
