It’s “Tiguan” fo VW’s new SUV
Volkswagen's new compact SUV, previewed as the Concept A at last February’s Geneva motor show, finally has a name: Tiguan. The new vehicle was christened this new name following an internet poll of European automotive magazine readers .
The Tiguan - a combination of the words Tiger and Leguan - was chosen over a list of nomenclatures dreamt up by Volkswagen’s Wolfsburg-based marketing department, including Rockton, Nanuk, Samun and Namib. According to the German automaker, some 350,000 readers were involved in the poll conducted over the internet.
VW plans to launch a second, more production orientated concept of its compact Golf-based SUV at the Los Angeles motor show this December before introducing a definitive production version at the 2007 Frankfurt motor show.
