– The 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan started at $27,420. Study the compact-crossover segment for even a moment, and it’s clear that the VW’s price is way, way out of step with what Honda charges for a bare CR-V, or Ford asks for a basic Escape. Even taking into account the Tiguan’s premium bend, it’s just a bit too dear to fully compete with the segment heavyweights. This isn’t a new issue,
-We aren’t sure why Audi thinks its 520-hp S8 supersedan is catching enough sand to the face to warrant an even more powerful Plus model, but it went ahead and created such a variant anyway. Indeed, despite being down 57 horsepower on the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG and 15 horsepower shy of the V-12–powered BMW 760Li, the standard S8 has them all smoked to 60 mph, hitting that speed in 3.6 seconds
