Here is a look and the approaching launch of the Volkswagen Touareg in India, quite possibly in December 2009.

Looks like the launch season is not going to end anytime soon.  The latest that we hear is that the much anticipated Volkswagen Beetle will be coming to India by December 2009.  More car and motorcycle launches will of course happen during the upcoming 2010 Auto Expo.
