Rumorpile: Volkswagen's Upcoming Three-Row Crossover To Be Named Atlas

Well at least it's not an alpha numeric

Makes me think of a tire instead of an SUV, but it sounds okay...

Well, it's not a risky assessment by any means, but I'm calling it now- this will be a smashing success, and will reinvigorate VW's standings in the market. The upcoming new Tiguan will bolster it.

I went over to VW's site and built an AllTrack.  Couldn't find a manual transmission anywhere on the features list... nor is there a brown paint option... although they have a delicious brown leatherette interior color available.  I'm not cool with DSG transmissions, having driven them short distances.  Too jerky in operation.

Great name.

Cue people running around, arms overhead, bemoaning that the VW naming 'system' no longer "makes sense" and that they're confused now.

Sooooo... Volkswagen is going Greek.  I like it!
