That motor is pretty nice from what I've seen but it's still heavy like all the European contender's. They had one at the dealer near my house last week , same exact color and everything. So I pulled in to check it out. It was running and open so me and my Buddy helped ourselves, Lol. It reminded me of my father's Porsche Cayenne inside, we both liked it but still rather a Fist. I also think that VW is pricing themselves out of the market with almost all there cars lately.
