Touareg W12 competition

How come there is no other midsize nonluxury SUV with a 12-cylinder engine? In America we never have them. America should've made some V-12 performance SUVs, like the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT12, the Chevy TrailBlazer SS12, and the Ford Sport Trac SVT12 Adrenaline. :(

not in 2005... there was nothing in the SUV world with the same power and performance...
a Porsche Cayenne Turbo was 3.4s slower to 125mph.
The most powerfull Q7 and X5 of that time were 100hp shy to the Touareg power...
The 2008 Jeep SRT8 with same 6.0l displacment V8 has slightly less power and is only marginal quicker thanks to it´s 700lbs lower weight.

Like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. But it looks better than its stablemates - Porsche cayenne and Audi Q7.

Being a W12, u would expect more power and performance wouldn't you ? Given the price.
