Mixed feelings
On the one hand, I happen to like the styling as well as the weight-to-hp ratio. On the other hand, the maximum cargo volume is quite paltry, so it is not clear that this is the vehicle for you if you are interested in any kind of real hauling capacity.
The allroad is a better all-around bet. Can't say much about the Touareg since I haven't driven one or seen one up close.

Looks cool, but it's functionless. Huge on the outside, tiny on the inside.
It was a good way, however, to make the Z chassis slow. (The fast "for an SUV" argument is useless here... it's not an SUV, not even as useful as most wagons, and much slower than the G35/350Z upon who's chassis it's built.)
That said, it does look cool. But I'd rather have an allroad for utility and interior quality or an S6 for performance and interior quality.
There's no point in comparing it to a Touareg. They just don't overlap at all - other than having seats and a steering wheel.

Very sweet ride that the Touareg will never compete with. The FX45 handles like
a car in the corners.
Would you rather pay $50,000+ for a Infiniti or a VW. No way would I ever pay that kind of $ for a VW!
