Toureg - Cayenne Differences
#16
The Cayenne V6 and Touareg V6 are badge-engineered vehicles built on the same assembly line and are thus virtually identical.

Well......I have to admit to selling the 951 I had turned it into a wicked DE car and in the process blown a couple headgaskets. I could see some long distance driving in my future so I went for a 928. Still, for raw speed nothing is a better platform than the 951

They are delivered to different plants (of each manufacturer - P-> Leipzig)for engine install & electronics - body parts. The struts are installed in Slovakia; an outsourced part.
VW purchased the Skoda plants (w employees); so one could conclude they are all Skodas with attitude. Frankly, I think they've done a great job; not like VW's experience in Mexico.
VW might be having problems w their electronics if there are quality problems.

Kevin, If you are still questioing the differences, a DRIVE is in order. The Cayenne will have MUCH more of that nimble feeling you have with the 951. The VW is going to be more like a typical modern SUV with more body roll and numb steering feel.
If you have any intentions fo racing around in your next choice, the choice will be clear after a test drive. For a 5000lb truck the Cayenne is very impressive, and worth the extra cost IMO.
