Tiguan coming earlier than expected......

VGA are bringing the Tiguan launch forward to April/May instead of October as originally expected.

Also good news for the offroader fanatics the Track & Field is confirmed for Australia

(You guys at VGA are smart cookies offering T&F as well as the road versions )

Enquired about all that as i am VERY interested in one.

The diesel is expected to show at the melbourne motor show but no models will be available till oct nov still. The diesel will be may i'm told.

They are launching the 2.0 TSI 125kW and 147kW version first in Oct Nov this year.

The 125kW version will be the launched one and its rumored to be 39,990.. so i am putting down a deposit on the first granite of black one available lol.

I got a VGA Info sheet / brochure at the Bris Motor show and it refers to the models as 125TSI, 103TDI & 147TSI. The specs don't make any reference to the 18deg or 28deg (or Sport & Style, Track & Field, etc) front ends although the picture shows the 18deg front end with fog lights (which are listed as standard on the 147TSI model).

The availability shows as 2nd quarter for diesel & 3rd quarter for the petrols although it seems like the petrols will be later from other posters info.
