Amarok and Chevy's "Like a Rock".

I actually like this truck. Lets see it in the states! Come on, they have production facilities here, and I have no doubt Chrysler will be willing to produce some of the kit for it. Although that may lead to lower quality....

Anyway, bring it here!

gosh darn chickens!!!! i would buy this truck!

Let's hear some more news on the engines going in the 2011 F-150.

OMFG - now I get this whole damn thing with the name of this truck - it's (K)AMARO! They put only the "K" on the end of it... Shame on you VW!

I am confused by your title, you state it is coming to America as a question yet report it is going to be sold in South America?

What gives? Is South America like Louisiana or Alabama or the actual continent? Please be more specific...

So with Toyota selling a re-badged VW in Europe, could this have a heavy Toyota influence? You bet it does, sure looks like one also.

Though the rear lower shock mounts are un-Toyota like and more domestic-like.

keep it.

I'd like to see something a bit larger in size than the old Rabbit pick-up trucks of the 80's. Style it like this, make a roomy 2 door cab, 4WD available, and a good sized, usable bed, powered by a VW turbo diesel and I'll line up to buy one.

How many more pickups,or psuedo pickups does this country need? With upcoming car and truck CAFE standards,these manufacturers need to think smaller and less truck like.VW already has gas hogs in Toureg do they need another? Its time some of these makers start dropping trucks,or bringing to market smaller ones powered with 4 cylinder engines or diesel 4s and 6s.Truck sales are in the toilet anyway.If I was a carmaker,I would shun the truck side totally.Look at Mitsubishi....no trucks since Mighty Max,and the along comes the Raider (dont say Dakota),and its a failure.VW drops vans and then comes along with Routan (dont say Grand Caravan) and its a loser.Let that be a lesson to everyone.

Paul, it is quite clear that you are jumping on to the bandwagon, being totally uninformed. This truck is powered by an European diesel, developed by Audi and, unlike the ineffective V8 trucks you produce in the USA will actually do its intended job without having to stop at every gas station. It will tow better than most American V8's as the engine pushes out more torque tha does a much larger V8. Anyone with sense will rush of to buy one, swhould a truck be needed,

@S8Demon: yes, this VW diesel could make more HP and better MPG than the most American V8's in pick up trucks, but he'll probably produce his power from smaller displacement plus turbocharger (purposed more for passenger cars, technologically more complicated), so when something brakes down, it can be very expensive...

Aron, I take your point but have been fortunate that the VW diesels are available to us. These engines run at a much lower revs and therefor are so much less stressed. We are lucky enough to have the Ranger, Toyota etc with diesel motors and it is not rare to find one with 200thousand kilometer, still going strong. The only concern in the US would be the standard of mechanic that will work on these vehicles. We used to get the F250 in South Africa but Ford stopped importing these as it cannot compete with the smaller trucks and was not very popular. Our rural conditions, especially in the Kalahai are much more extreme than anything you have and, these diesel trucks and cars are gaining in popularity all the time

From what I heard, this car gets the latest 2,0 liter Diesel. That was rated best engine of the year together with a BMW... And with your remark to repair - try that with any of the modern engines including gasoline. Without a computer you are doomed. No matter what manufacturer.
On the other subject: the truck will be able to load euro pallet and full ton. Thats more than the Toyota or Ford.
So this will be MY car......

I would buy one of these. I think they look great. And all my experiences with VWs have been good... I've owned several, including the vw-porsche 914 (still have).

VW never sells there best stuff in the U.S. :(

VW Australia are now advertising the upcoming Ute here.Looking forward to a ute with decent saftey features and fuel consumption ,I have 2007 Nissan Navara turbo deisel and towing a small trailer for work gets me 380km from 70l fuel :(
