Volkswagen Touareg “Mud” Print Advert

This creative print advert for Volkswagen's Touareg SUV was created by the advertising agency DDB in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At first sight, it looks like the ad simply depicts a muddy rear window of a Touareg. Take a closer look though and you’ll see that the mud forms a picturesque scene. Nice.

Mini Recall: 2008 VW Touareg

Volkswagen USA announced that it is recalling 96 MY 2008 Touareg vehicles this month. According to the German carmaker, a fuel supply line was changed during production which could lead to insufficient sealing of the fuel supply line connector. This condition could lead to a fuel leak which in turn could result into a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Volkswagen dealers will inspect and replace the fuel supply line, if necessary.

Volkswagen Touareg Military Edition

The good news is that this ultra-cool military edition of the Volkswagen Touareg actually exists. The bad news -as you probably have already guessed, is that it won’t be available any time soon at your local dealership. However, we would imagine that it shouldn't be too difficult to create a road-legal replica of the army-prepped Touareg. –More pics after the jump
