The 4.0L V8 diesel Touareg we can't have.
VW Touareg with a 4.0L V8 diesel engine producing 416hp/664lb-ft with the ability to tow a little over 7,700 lbs. I wish Ford, GM, or Ram slapped this engine in their half tons instead of a small 3.0...

Won't find any foreign **** in my driveway.
I've got news for you, my friend: all car makers source parts all over the world, so you can no longer identify the nationality of autos by looking at the make/model nameplate.
For just one example, BMW is a German carmaker. But the largest BMW plant in the world is located near Statesville, SC. What's more, BMW's entire production of X3 and X5 SUVs comes from that plant, making BMW the largest exporter of cars from the US to the rest of the world, and the X5 is the most exported single model. So that neighbor with an X5 in his driveway has as much claim to be driving an American car as any Ford or Chevy driver.
