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 3.0L diesel with dismal horsepower numbers. I would be more tempted to buy a half ton diesel with these kind of power ratings than what is currently available.
Although, these power numbers would probably be lower in the US since our diesel NOx emissions requirements are stricter than the EU's. VW would have to decrease output to meet US emissions similar to how VM Motori has to decrease power output of the US Ecodiesel versus that of EU markets.
