Autos: "You get an extra point if you can say it. The hot new Volkswagen SUV is called the 'Touareg.' It's pronounced 'tour egg.' The 'a' is silent.
What does it mean? It borrows its name from a nomadic Saharan tribe. Word has it that VW wanted to name it the 'Colorado,' but that had already been trademarked by General Motors. So instead of naming it the Arizona or the Delaware or the Minnesota, it went with the name of that old Saharan tribe."
