01:34 but are also driver selectable for ride quality.
01:38 You have ride height adjustability from a relatively low setting for high-speed cruising
01:44 on the road to a high or very high setting for off-road work.
01:49 And there's a tremendous sense of broad capability that allows the vehicle to serve a lot
01:55 of different duties and just work really well for a lot of people.

02:05 >> Volkswagen's new Touareg just does it all.
02:08 It's beautifully built, a wonderful design inside and out, has every attribute

02:16 Yet it also has a serious modicum of off-roading capability,
02:20 good cargo space, and solid value.

02:28 >> Looking at the entire class of new Sport Utilities for model year 2004,

02:38 superiority, value, it truly deserves to be Motor Trend Sport Utility of the Year.
