Touareg/Cayenne fiasco Round 2 (Dakar)

[Cody Forbes]

Well yeah the VWs and Bimmers did well, but what I loved was that Nissan (I
hate most Japanese cars, but this is an exception). That had the nicest
sounding motor that I have ever heard outside of F1 or maybe Superbike, it
was beautiful. I got pissed off every day when the covereage didn't let me
hear enough or any of it. Pure music that thing made, just exquisite.
