Surprised that the CUV segment is down for them.

2019 vs 2018

11,805 vs 8,276 Tiguan

7,381 vs 6,063 Atlas

Those are their only two CUVs. 

The other two you might be eyeing aren't current models and were discontinued.

^^ This.

I'm surprised there are still Touregs on lots.  It's about time the Tiguan limited went out of production.

Those Touregs are probably 5 years old. Weren't those things grossly overprices?

They were the Phaeton of the VW SUV lineup... so overpriced....maybe... but you were getting a very premium vehicle that would rival the X5 and M-Class.
