You don't have to look too far to notice that there are some striking similarities between the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg. Especially the first-generation vehicles.
At the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, I think I may be onto something.
In the past 12 months, Volkswagen has been eager to show off a couple of sport-utility vehicle concepts. While we've seen the CrossBlue Concept, which looked like a next-gen Audi Q7, we're now getting a taste of the CrossBlue Coupe Concept. And, the more I look at it, the more Porsche Macan I am beginning to see.
Sure, the Porsche is more rounded off an sensuous, but that's every Porsche design. If you compare the proportions of the CrossBlue Coupe to the Macan, they're essentially dead on. Of course since I didn't make it to Los Angeels this year I can't tell you if the scale is accurate.
This makes me wonder if this smaller SUV will replace the very old Tiguan and push the Touareg — if VWAG continues to build it — more upmarket.
All that said, I am a bit curious: Is Volkswagen's CrossBlue Coupe Concept a Macan-based VW?
