Looks strangely like the original 'Touareg' derivative they used on the Dakar back in, must have been, 2002? It was called the 'Tarek' if memory serves.
Thats was a two wheel drive, 1.9 supercharged diesel, and yes, it went like stink.
But they decided they wanted soemthing more likely to win and hence the 4 wheel drive Race-Tourareg was born. And it's a cracker. It also has an off-roading heritage that stretches back to before Land Rover was born - surprisingly!
So, the new Baja gets my vote (unless it's based on anything related to the new beetle! IMV!).
cheers

They could have picked a far worse platform than the Golfs.. That Chassis is a very nice one.

Yep, and it's a very good car.
But, to my thinking, it's not in the spirit of the Beetle.
The Beetle was a cheap, low tech, mass producable car (Volkswagen = Peoples Car). The new Beetle however is a crass attempt to sell the Golf for even more money. It lacks the original ethos of the Beetle and spoils the practicality of the Golf. And the winner is.........? :wink:
You can tell I'm an engineer! :lol:
