This Terrifying Mutant Creature Inspired the VW Tiguan’s Name

Volkswagen TiguanGah! What is this hideous beast? The result of a tragic nuclear waste spill? A product of misguided mating? The grotesque spawn of a forgotten Soviet surgical experiment? No, it's the rare and elusive Tiguan, the totally-made-up tiger/iguana crossbreed that inspired the name of Volkswagen's small crossover SUV. And the star of VW's new ad for that very vehicle.

The ghastly beast is the unlikely hero of this new Tiguan commercial, one of several touting the turbo trucklet's Teutonic trappings. Check it out here:



So, now we know where the Tiguan name came from. As for that taxidermied monstrosity? Yeesh.
