you know what ?
after reading a little about this Ute - I reckon it could make it in the market over here... The Merc Vito & VW Transporter shook up the van part of the market when they were relased here (given that most vans that I remember were Hiace or Econovans) I reckon it does look pretty damn good... its certainly more handsome than a Navara, and a Colorado... and the Hilux is now dated and been done to death.... With VW build quality and VW diesel power/torque/strength... So long as it is priced right (not necessarily the cheapest)... it will be bought... Good stuff VW... ![]()

could be a contender

towing capacity is a little low considering some of its rivals i guess price makes all the difference now....... shouldnt be more than $50k tops for the top of the line model, otherwise they are dreaming

That thing looks very tough, would consider one if they could handle going off road well!

The 2.0 litre twin turbo diesel is impressive, iirc 120kw and 400nm lugging around a heavy ute while getting 7.6L per 100klm.

Looks to be a winner and apparently even bigger than the current Hilux.
Stumbling blocks in the Aussie market may be price and the perception the engine capacity is too small for a 'real' truck. A 2.0l diesel engine may not cut it in the pub bragging rites that seem so important to some. It would probably be my pick for this type of vehicle, well until T6 arrives anyway ;)

Love the Interior & being a VW owner I'm sure it'd be very reliable & the build quality would be second to none.

I wonder if Toyota will sharpen their pencils now VW is on the market.

If i could afford it, i would buy one right now and park the Super Pursuit for the weekends.
Looks really good, and the VW build and reliability would be great, plus i'd be able to get to all my favourite MX and MTB spots with ease
