And the two aren't comparable IMO. Treg is much better driver. RR is much better at looking like you're important.

2008 Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI Review | The Truth About Cars

"In sum, the redone Touareg isn't much of a looker, sucks pricey diesel like poets chug wine and (our tester) retails for an astounding, irrecoverable $79,650."

Funny thing about the Truth is that you can pick and choose which part you want to agree with.

Because my paying 65 for mine is also The Truth.

And I actually like this quote too "Obviously, the Touareg V10 TDI is a ridiculous anachronism. And yet, aesthetics, badge, environmental responsibility and price aside, it's the finest all around car I've ever driven"

I had both the RR and Touareg V10 TDi (twice). Still have the Touareg. I would pick it over the RR any day of the week.

yea, I wasn't trying to say you were wrong, you own one! I was just showing where my info was from. Obviously there could be different options, or different MSRPs for different years. Or, you bought it brand new beacuse I know our local dealership was having trouble giving it away.
