Hard to pronounce, easy to drive. TouaregWe can usually tell how popular a car will be based on the reaction of our editorial staff and other Edmunds.com employees. In this regard, there haven't been many surprises; the cars that bring writers, office workers and computer geniuses alike into the parking garage are, by and large, the cars that most of the buying public is interested in. The Ford Thunderbird was quite popular, as were the Mini Cooper, Nissan 350Z and Hummer H2. OK, so odd curiosity obviously plays into this little formula as well, but what did seem to be a bit of a surprise was the clamoring caused by the Volkswagen Touareg — VW's first venture into the SUV world.Not only were many on the editorial staff anxiously awaiting its arrival, but it seemed as if the entire Santa Monica office was interested in the arrival time and date of the new SUV. It was like some sort of creepy reenactment of an episode from "The Simpsons" where a huge buzz was brewing about the coming monorail. One Edmunds employee even purchased a Touareg as his personal vehicle and commented, "I've been waiting for this specific car as soon as I heard they were going to build it. This is the car I've always wanted." How he was able to purchase a regular production version long before we were able to get our hands on a high-mileage preproduction model is another story altogether.
