Probably due to the way the transfer case works along with the traction control??
I know nothing about the Touareg, however, did some parking lot play time in the snow when I first got the X5, it was way different then my GMC Yukon. Then I found out I really needed to turn off the Traction Control to have fun, but I did feel the "plow forward" a bit more than the "pull through". The "pull through" is usually when there is more power fed to the front wheels and the back is sloppy. This is kind of how the old school 4 wheel drive vehicles felt without much weight in the rear, they felt more like front wheel drive in the snow and you could "pull" your way with the throttle.
