Thanks for the replies, concern and experience noted.  The reason the VW
is our current choice is it is primarily for my wife.  She is adamantly
opposed to Excursions, Tahoes, and the like.  If I had my way, I'd be in a
diesel excursion - I'll be driving the Saturn and getting money for fixing
up the scout for my sacrifice :-).  I have family with equipment I can
borrow to tow, it looks like that will be my lot.  Again, I appreciate the
replies.

I'm not a tax man, but my father, and other self-employed people I know
take huge advantage of this tax code.  One striking statement from the
above article:  "Under the new plan, a business owner who purchases a
$110,000 Hummer H1 in 2003 can now deduct a total of $106,000 in the first
year (see table)."

Either way, I'm not self-employed and I don't think the vw is 6k, but if
you're looking at buying new every few years to save money the above tax
code can get you into new trucks for pretty cheap.

Thanks again - fyi the Touareg is one nice ride for its market,
Jeff
