Unveiled: 2010 VW Amarok

Looks very simlar to the Nissan Frontier, is it based on the same platform?

Nope. This is all VW. The Suzuki Equator is a rebadged Frontier. :)

Good looking truck, I approve.
Sad thing is, if it does come to the US it'll be fully loaded models only available with the slushbox.

I prefer the user interface the old version had. I mean, looking up lyrics online is well and good, but can't they wait until the new version is on par with the old one in terms of features?

Man, I miss Amarok 1.4.
 
Looks good in person as well, saw one months ago in the city. But I didn't expect a biturbo diesel engine, didn't even know VW had those.
 
The 4-door looks good, but the 2-door is kind of awkward.

I still think it'll be too hard to VW to break into the truck market no matter how good the product, but kudos for trying.

Well, VW commercial vehicles sell well, as do Mercedes ones(at least here) because of the "German quality" thought process.

Sprinters aren't sold here as Mercedes. The market is quite competitive here as well (The F-150 is a very good truck).
 
Yeah, they're Dodges. Also, I'd get a F-150 over any pick-up we get here, it's just insanely cheap compared to all the pick-ups in our market.

that statue!! what's up with that?
 
God I love this truck! It's ruggedly handsome, not overstyled, very classy like most VW's. (I especially love that brown/bronze color VW's using on more and more stuff) The interior, while obviously mostly hard plastic looks very nice. I'd take this over a Tacoma or Colorado or w/e anyday. Plus....diesel! It also feels more "right-sized" than those midsize trucks.

You think so? I think that if VW were to sell it here, give it a unparalleled warranty (10 years powertrain, 5 on the rest with roadside assistance) and price it right...it could be a hit. Especially if they're able to convey just how tough it is to the American consumer. Admittedly it will be their toughest battle to get that message across, as pickup buyers are fiercely brand loyal.

Yeah, they're Dodges.

Actually, they are sold here as Mercedes since 2010, no longer as Dodges: http://www.mbsprinterusa.com/
