VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG
This one is more improved than its porky predecessor, the Touareg has lots of luxury amenities, justifying its P4M price. A diesel comes standard, and it has the BlueMotion technology packed. Too bad, there's no third row seat and its darn expensive for such a car.
The Good: Interior quality is tops
The Bad: Very expensive to buy
Price Range: P4,290,000
