Tiguan: a bit less boring
Unless you're the sort of person who finds concrete cladding wildly entertaining, you'll probably concede that the VW Tiguan is lacking a bit of visual punch. Any visual punch, in fact.
So what do you think of this, the Tiguan R Line? In a bid to add a little muscle to its small soft-roader, VW has treated the Tig to a new bodykit - deeper front splitter, fatter side sills and a small boot spoiler - big new wheels, a flat-bottomed steering wheel and some almost-bucket seats.
Unfortunately, there's no extra power for the R Line, so you're stuck with the choice of a pair of 2.0-litre turbodiesels or VW's 197bhp 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine.
It'll go on sale in June, with prices starting at £24,635. Are you even a little bit interested? What do you mean you fell asleep at the end of the first sentence?
Want to comment on this?
So, as if having a sports off-roader isn't silly and pointless enough, there's now an option for those who can't stretch to a Touareg R50 to pretend they have one? Or maybe it's so you can spot yours in the car park.

Please don't fall asleep at the first sentence because you won't be able to read the last sentence which is effin hilarious.

Well I suppose some will say it looks a bit, erm, flat-charactered. But - and this is a big "but". Like Beyonce's, in fact - there's no denying those wheels and lights look pretty pretty.

Give me a brake Top Gear! Are there ANY non-british cars that you like? I mean, you have to admit that you are twisted alone, and not the rest of the world! I bet the British automobile constructors pay you tons of money to say the rest of the World is producing CRAP, and they alone produce DIAMONDS!

BORING needs to be less restrained and have passion added to it. Even Kia make more interesting cars than that Volkswagen Tignuan r line

Well isn't it quite interesting at all that they brought the tiguan on the market after having already produced the most ridiculous SUV on the market with the Touareg. Honestly why does VW not just vanish into thin air just after selling Audi, Bentley and Bugatti to BMW. Their producing only crap after all. And this R line (which has really got a good chance to be one of the worst ideas I've heard this year so far).... How pathetic do you've got to be to bling a piece of [something I'm missing words for] up, calling it a new car and not having even tweaked the engine a lil. Boy I better stop writing before I get so sick that I can spot my breakfast on the screen
