Re: VW Amarok pick-up for UK
had been looking for an auto vehicle for a long time and at last went with an american manufacturer instead of the german.
Re: VW Amarok pick-up for UK
Funny for them to miss a niche like this. Maybe they could do a fastback four-door pick-up.

Oh no, a German manufacturer offering a pick up - wake up you marketing boys in Munich !
