TOUGH TURKEY DAY

Shawn Kelly/Andy Levin photos Area football squads did not fare so well last week during the annual Thanksgiving Day rivalry games. In Webster, the Bartlett Indians were shut out by the Southbridge Pioneers, 33-0; in a close one in Sturbridge, Tantasqua narrowly beat Shepherd Hill, 33-27, to remain undefeated; and in Auburn, the Oxford Pirates were easily handed their 10th loss of the season, losing their ninth straight Thanksgiving Day game to the Auburn Rockets, 42-12.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

After a week with the 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan, I’m left won- dering, “What’s the point?” Does the world really need another crossover utility vehicle like the Tiguan (which is called a com- pact sport utility vehicle by VW)? Apparently, Germans think so because it’s become a top seller among off-road vehicles in VW’s home country since its introduc- tion six months ago. That per- plexes me, though, because the Tiguan features all-wheel drive, an $1850 option. All-wheel drive is really only suitable for light off- road duty. Maybe Germans are like Americans and buys vehicles for off-road use – and then never take them offroad. It’s a likeable enough vehicle with lots of space for five and their assorted belongings. Fuel economy is OK and it drives well. The problem, though, is I think only VW owners who might want a compact sport utility vehicle will buy the Tiguan. I can’t envi- The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan is VW’s entry into the compact sport utility vehicle market, but go ahead and call it a crossover utility vehicle. sion it capturing buyers from other brands when such tough airbags available as an option. increases its functionality is its are fun but at what cost? competition exists in this seg- All 2009 model year Volkswagens flexible seating.

The numbers are about right for an SUV weighing 3,433 lbs. What’s wrong is the turbo engine requires premium fuel. That puts the Tiguan at a disadvantage over its competitors.

Tiguan is available in three trim Auto Review levels, S, SE, and SEL. It is base priced at $23,200. VW loaned me the top of the line model, the SEL 4xMotion, which jumps the price up 42 per- cent to $32,940. I’m not going to argue against the four-wheel drive for those who feel they need it (99 percent of people don’t), but you can save a lot of money by foregoing the sunroof ($1300) and The inside of the VW Tiguan has an upscale finish to it.

Most Fuel Efficient Sedan Not for the Tall of Stature – Backseat Passengers Benefit, Though BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Comedienne Kathy Griffin (no relation that I know of) has a show on Bravo called, “My Life on the D-List.” It refers to her celebrity status in Hollywood. Well, the automotive journalism world has a similar pecking order. I hope someday to claw my way up from D-list to maybe, C- list, but in the meantime, I’m just happy to be on any list. So, why all this talk about lists? I just spent a week with the 2009 Toyota Prius. It dawned on me when it arrived that this car had been out for seven years and I had never reviewed it. It seems like every celebrity on earth with an ecological bent owns this car and here I am seven years behind the curve. Hmm, maybe I am never going to get off this automotive D-list. It’s pegged as a midsize sedan based on its size, but I’m amazed by how little room it has for my The 2009 Toyota Prius is the last year of the second generation before a new 2010 model is introduced in January. 6’2” frame.
