Posted by coloneljasi, a Team-Bhp member, this image is not the first on the web in India, but holds more significance since a car is generally sent to dealerships just before the launch. A few days back Volkswagen India has also updated their site with information and specs of the new-generation Touareg which reveal the car completely.
