BC, the Tiguan also has auto parking, which apparently works.

In the US they start at $23k, in the UK they start at £19k.

I remember speaking to VW who said the fully loaded top of the range model would be 140,000dhs, so the 170bhp model with a few less toys should be a bit cheaper.

Drivearabia lists it as 99k - 125k dhs

By coincidence I was just looking at VW Tiguans yesterday. 99,000Dhs for the poverty spec one (which still has alloys, electric everything and a cd player) up to 130,000 for one with all the toys (leather, big sunroof etc.) Only problem is they are quoting 6-8 months for delivery. I suspect that might change if you walked in waving a cheque book.

Border Reiver's prediction:- expect this to become very common in Dubai.
