Not too shabby, more angles would be nice. I am looking forward to seeing the official Q7 version. ;)

AFAIK the new Q7 is at least 2 years away ... just about when the all aluminum Range Rovers debut.

Waiting for more hi res shots ... the interior looks nice.

Later edit: Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/2011-volkswagen-touareg/full/) delivers on the pictures but they got the gasoline engines mixed up 3.6FSI / 3.0 TFSI.

I like it, VERY much!!!

I see that there will be (3.0) V6 TDI, (4.2) V8 TDI and (3.0 T) Hybrid.

What is with ''regular'' petrol engines...? Will (3.6) V6 and (4.2) V8 still be an options...?

I like the real life photos way better. In first shots which the car seemed less masculine than the previous generation.

Nice of them to keep the fancy exhaust tips on the V6 TDI version. I wonder what is the diagonal of the nav screen looks huge :).

The 3.6 is still there: 280 HP / 360 Nm / 9,9 L/100 Km (-2,5L)

Downsizing all the way: no V8 gasoline, V12 gasoline and V10 TDI anymore, but with the Hybrid (combined 380 HP) and Audi V8 TDI who needs that anyway

[AndyBG]

V6 TDI..., best option!
