The V-10 TDi "Pump dusse" motor will be out in January of 2004 according to Volkswagen sources that I have my hands on. The motor will be a great deal for the people who can afford it.
As far as that engine is concerned it is different than the Passat motor. The Passat has a 3.0 24 valve motor whereas the 'Egg has a 3.2l VR6 motor similar to the new 24v GTi with bigger displacement.
I have driven the Toureg at the press launch in Moab and can tell you that based upon its' competition it was designed to travel offroad. The suspension articulation is unmatched anywhere and the torsional rigidity is well above all the others that tested.
I put a link to the front page of a website that you can check out that features some articles that have been written about the design... have fun!
