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?
Tiguan: a bit less boring
VW gives its small soft-roader the R Line treatment. Do you care?

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.
