After coming back to VW from years away, I'm kind of hooked again on VW driving and it's quirks so this looks like a nice upgrade when I replace the sportwagon.

And I almost lost my coffee at this quote from the comments:
"And now it looks like a GTI’s fat cousin who’s still really cute in the face and totally muscular because she used to play basketball in college but sort of let herself go a little bit."

Does it come with a stick?

Doubtful, the current Tiguan has one, but only in the base 2WD version.

Doesn't say so in the article. I'm not holding my breath. There were rumors of an AWD Golf Sportwagen coming stateside with a MT. Nope, didn't happen.

Yes, that's the word too. But it will be an "All-Track" gussied up like an Outback. Again stick is probably doubtful, though prob a better chance with this than the Tiguan.

It's all my fault. All these years of crapping on Subaru and the only Small SUV/Wagon left in the US market that offers AWD and MT is the Forester.
