Tiguan, Volkswagen’s new Sports Utility Vehicle

The Tiguan is a compact crossover SUV, which received a five-star safety rating after being tested by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP).

The chassis of the Tiguan sets new standards in the world of SUVs as it is extremely driving-active and safe. For the first time on the global SUV market all engines are charged without exception, which deliver powerful propulsion just above the idling speed.

Upon request, the Tiguan can be parked nearly automatically in the urban jungle by the Park Assist feature.

Off-road, on the other hand, the latest radio-navigation system (RNS 510) navigates its occupants back to civilisation using its off-road function.

One of the main characteristics of the Tiguan is its versatility. It is recommended for drivers who enjoy the individual appearance and flexibility of a SUV, but also expect a premium level of comfort, agility and variability.

Buy a car, get a free gun

A Missouri car dealer said on Thursday sales have soared at his auto and truck business since launching a promotion this week that promises buyers a free handgun or a $250 gas card with every purchase.
Max Motors, a small Butler, Missouri dealership that has as its logo a grimacing cowboy wielding a pistol, has sold more than 30 cars and trucks in the last three days, far more than its normal volume. And owner Mark Muller credits his decision to start offering buyers their choice of a $250 gas card or a $250 credit at a gun shop.
"This thing has taken off. Sales have quadrupled," said Muller. The store sells both used and new vehicles including General Motors and Ford products.
Every buyer so far "except one guy from Canada and one old guy" has elected to take the gun, Muller said. Muller recommends his customers select a Kel-Tec .380 pistol.

THAT IS SOME SMART SELLING !
