    "VW launched into another class of Baja today as it released it's Touareg Baja Racer"


    I guess this should read:

    @dwegmull: I'm not sure that you can use a colon like that. If you had written "I guess this should read as follows:" I think it would have worked. I must check Strunk's Elements to be certain, however.

    @joshman - repeatedly clicking expand all: Don't try telling ME you can't use a colon like that. I'm a physician who has seen way too many people use their colon in ways which were not intended by the Gods... even the Greek ones...

    The caption says it's a V6 TDI. Are the photos of the base-model Baja racer? Is the V12 TDI only an option? And in typical VW fashion, will that engine option only be available with leather seats, satnav, a larger wheel-tire combo, and more chrome trim?


    Pedantry aside, when can we expect this V12 TDI in an AWD Jetta?

    @Deartháir: "Jetta GL 1.8T."


    Curiously, it didn't sell all that well. Pity.

    The large red bull on the side of this thing seems quite appropriate. Just saying.
