2008 Volkswagen Touareg 2 V8 FSI

Photo gallery:2008 Volkswagen Touareg 2 V8 FSIAs we pulled the 2008 Volkswagen Touareg 2 up a rocky slope for its photo shoot, we started thinking about taking the car through even more hostile terrain, such as out near Moab, or from San Francisco to Dakar. With the Touareg's four-wheel drive,...

2007 Volkswagen Touareg

Volkswagen's Touareg proved its off-road chops last year in the DARPA Grand Challenge, where it won first place by negotiating a 132-mile desert course without the aid of a driver. Our review car, a 2007 Volkswagen Touareg with a V-6 engine, didn't have a robotic driving system; its high-tech accoutrements...

Why HP-EDS is a disaster in the making

As I've noted elsewhere HP's takeover of Compaq destroyed essentially all of HP's pre-takeover value and left the Compaq organization operating as HP. Now they've announced their intention of taking over EDS. On the good news side there won't be a culture clash in bringing these...

2008 Audi R8

2008 Volkswagen R32

Hot hatchback aficionados dream of a car like the 2008 Volkswagen R32. Where most hot hatchbacks, such as the 2007 Honda Civic Si, use front-wheel drive and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the R32 upgrades those specs with all-wheel drive and a 3.2-liter V-6, giving it exceptional handling and power that...
