I can't believe all the people who say the Touareg would win. I used to have an 04 TL, and clocked 0-60 times of around 6 seconds, very good considering I didn't power brake or anything. I once rented an Audi A8 (which has the exact same engine found in the Toureg) that weighs less than the Touareg and it didn't feel nearly as fast as my TL. In reality, the Touareg is a huge, slow, ugly, fuel inefficient piece of crap that would get its ass kicked by an 04 TL, even with the V8.I'd even wager a bet that the new Acura MDX with its V6 (which weighs about the same as a Touareg if not more) would beat a V8 Touareg hands down.
