Is it a joke or a PR move, or both?

Who would want BMW X6? Same idea. Why wouldn't people want a convertible SUV? It looks like a high Mercedes CLS. I guess convertible SUV's will be available in the following years.

Actually there is one, called the Jeep Wrangler. Not a convertible really, but removable top, panels, doors, etc. But as good as the Touareg is offroad, I don't think it is that focused enough to pull that off.

Someone has a good sense of humor! Are people just bored or they are running out of things to do at the design studio!

As someone says, not a new idea: Wrangler, Hummer H1, Land Rover Defender, Mercedes G-Wagen, Toyota Landcruiser, Mitsubishi Shogun... been many times before. And what chassis dynamics are those you speak of? Most cars of this type rely on electonics to allow them to achieve any mobility at all, so chopping the roof off can easily be countered by chassis strengthening and a software tweak.

What a senseless... Bristol was right, that's not a new idea. I know many Offroad-convertibles (I'm not a fan of the general word SUV for a real Offroader) But a convertible-version of the current Touareg whould be strange in my eyes. If I want a real cabrio, I whould drive a real cabrio. And if I want a open offroader, I whould buy it. But this mixture is senseless. ...but all in all I can imagine, it's not more then a joke :)

28th December is "el dÃƒÂa de los Inocentes", or April Fool's day in other countries. That's a joke!
