Here&#8217;s another: a German model car company has let slip images of what looks like the next <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/touareg\/\">Volkswagen Touareg<\/a>, which is actually meant to be revealed at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/category\/geneva-motor-show\/\">Geneva Motor Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The box is labeled &#8220;VW Touareg 2010,&#8221; but the supplementary text mentions the fourth quarter of this year, and a quick look at the front of the SUV makes it plain that this isn&#8217;t the current off-roader. In fact, it looks just like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/26\/spy-shots-prototype-2011-volkswagen-touareg-caught-naked\/\">naked spy shots<\/a> of the 2011 model taken not too long ago. <\/p>\n<p>The model makes the front end look dramatically reduced in a way we hadn&#8217;t picked up from Touareg spy shots, but saw clearly in the spy shots of its sister, the Porsche Cayenne. We&#8217;re hoping for plenty of weight loss there to compensate for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/07\/13\/spy-shots-2011-volkswagen-touareg-caught-desert-testing\/\">loss of those diesel V10 and W12<\/a> engines.
