Touareg vs Cayenne, aka duh?

[Cody Forbes]

This goes along with my previous post a bit. I think it's perfect for the
morons that live in my area. They 1) have too much spare money for thier own
good, and 2) want to be seen in a vehicle with that little crest on it,
reguardless of what is looks/goes like. These days the only things more
common down here then H2s are Cayenne S's, X5s, Z4's, and SL500s are like
cochroaches. VW's are percieved as cheap little things that you buy for your
son as a first car, A4s included in with that. Basically in Boca Raton if
your in a Passat it might as well be a Geo Metro, and if your in a Toureg
it's like a Suzuki Samari. I guess this is more of a rant then a reply to
the topic, but I'm just stressing the reasoning behind why these morons
would chose a slower less eye apealing Cayenne over a Toureg. It's all about
that little crest. I wonder how many of them realise that both companies
were made by the same person.
