They killed the Touareg? In all 45 states? That sucks. I heard it was a pretty neat rig. (uh, 'reg'?)
I'll have to pick up the Merc rag (for about $10, ugh) and read the new CDI review. I'm afraid I'll develop an unhealthy lust for one and start making irrational phone calls to my loan officer. If it will outperform the E500 gasser, it must be close to high 13's in the 1/4 mile. The sick part is, that's STOCK, and these computer-controlled turbo cars are often capable of staggering performance gains with a simple ECU reprogram or chip swap.

BTW, no one has mentioned that the Touareg diesel is gone too. My friend DM had one in the pipeline when his order was cancelled. He's trading his ML. The latest Mercedes Enthusiast (on the free reading stand at Barnes & Noble) tests the new E420 CDI (twin turbo 4.2 V-8 diesel, a new engine for '06) which has more hp and performance than the E500. They raved about it. RLE/ Seattle
