2009 Volkswagen Tiguan Photo Gallery

Monday September 14, 2009

I'm into form following function. That's why I like the slightly funky designs of the Honda Element and Nissan Xterra, among other SUVs.

How does my design aesthetic reconcile a vehicle like the compact crossover Volkswagen Tiguan? Take a look at this 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan Photo Gallery, and see if you share my dilemma.

The Tiguan is quite attractive, but it's difficult to apply the "form follows function" formula to this vehicle. Perhaps that's because I have a hard time buying its function, or its niche in the marketplace. Not quite luxury, not quite economy, the Tiguan seeks its own level and betrays a bit of each level in its design.
