I am really enjoying their videos. Would like to see some options for the front bumper as well. For example something interchangeable just for off-road season.

What's pretty impressive (to me anyway) is the late model VW in this video...what model is that? I don't think we have that here in the States. It handled that terrain pretty well...

It's a Touareg.

I would have never guess the Touareg was that capable off road...then again I've never really looked at VW for my off-road needs either.

The same guys did another video when the LX was "newer" without damage, had a full front bumper and the 21" wheels, where they go plowing through a bunch of snow covered trails in it. They really put it through it's paces. While I'm not big on trashing the exterior of a vehicle this nice, it is cool to see it take a beating in stride.

Iirc, a diesel Touareg makes about 500+ ft. / lb. of torque. I'd like to have one but I'd have to swallow VAG's "reliability", which I won't.
