With their latest edition of the Touareg Hybrid, Volkswagen seems to aspire to reach a level of newness and innovation.
The first thing you need to know is the Touareg Hybrid is much more about luxury than it is about fuel efficiency. The SUV shares the same platform as the Porsche Cayenne and Audi supplies the engine. The 26 mpg won’t please too many environmentalists however VW claims the latest Touareg will go 0-60 in 6.5 seconds and top out at 150mph, which should please most drivers.

The editors at cars.com came up with a list of the 30 worst car names of all time (actually the last 30 years, but all time sounds better).
“There’s a lot of talk about the importance of first impressions,” says Patrick Olsen, Cars.com editor in chief. “Sometimes, as vehicle reviewers, our first impressions are formed when we hear the name of a vehicle. This list shows that those impressions aren’t always good.”
Drumroll Please:
10. The Entire Lincoln Line
9. Hyundai Equus (it’s not out yet, Hyundai change this while you still can)
8. Toyota Yaris
7. Kia Forte Koup
6. Subaru B9 Tribeca (Now just called Tribeca)
5. Volkswagon Touareg
4. Ford Probe (Ish like this is why American car companies are suffering)
3. Subaru B.R.A.T.
2. Isuzu VehiCROSS
1. Ford Aspire (Talk about an oxymoron)
