Now Car and Driver reports that a three-row
Honda Pilot and Ford Explorer fighter will be built, and it will
“almost definitely” be assembled in Tennessee or Mexico. It might use
the Passat’s platform, the rumored engine is VW’s 3.6-liter V6,
and its MSRP is expected to strongly challenge those of its competitors
(in the manner of the Jetta and Passat’s newly competitive price
strategies).
The same report claims that VW is working on a Tiguan more suited to
American tastes, which probably means turning it into something more
like a Jetta crossover than a Golf CUV. Last year, there were several reports that Volkswagen
was considering moving both Golf and Tiguan production to North
America, and a Stateside-leaning Tiguan might mean now is the right time
to do so.
