I can't get the 500+ lb-ft of torque @ 2000 rpm out of my head (V-10 diesel). But these things appear to be a complete and total reliability and maintenance nightmare.

But there's also this: https://www.motor1.com/news/225766/456000-miles-later-rare-vw-touareg-v10-tdi-is-still-trucking/
Admittedly all I'm thinking about is the prospect of owning something weird and rare to tool around in. Getting rid of my stone cold reliable and efficient Forester for one of these rube's would probably be one of the dumber moves in my lifetime. Ah heck, they're still cool though !!
