It’s a CC Thing: Volkswagen's New Cross Coupe Concept Live from the Tokyo Show Floors


For a very long time, we only had rugged 4x4s, but then SUVs made their appearance in the market followed shortly after by crossovers and before we knew it, all hell broke loose and each carmaker invented its own acronym to describe a specific niche in any given segment.

New Volkswagen Cross Coupe SUV Concept Bows at 2011 Tokyo Motor Show

2011 VW Tiguan SUV Facelift Leaked Brochure Real? Probably Not...


A snapshot, allegedly showing a page from the official brochure of the facelifted 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan compact SUV, has been making the internet rounds today.

We can't confirm or deny the authenticity of the picture with the Tiguan SUV on the right-hand corner of the page, but red flags did go up once we discovered that the rest of the photos are from the official brochure of the... recently facelifted VW Touran minivan. Don't believe us? Check out the 2011 Touran's brochure after the jump.
