I was in Berlin last summer visiting friends and also family in Bavaria. I spotted this beauty and would like to know why we don't get them here state side. I wish my photographer got a shot of the model as I was hoping, but then again not everyone is a motor-head LOL.

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |

Yeah, the Amarok is pretty badass. I would definitely consider buying one if they sold them here.
Thanks Obama! J/K |

I'd love one with 4x4 (not AWD), TDI, and a manual trans. _________________ 2015 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition

And you would be correct. Can't go wrong with white and matte black. _________________ 2015 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition

1963 "chicken tax" Largely why we never saw many single cabs in the US and never saw VW sell later single cabs or dokas here. Nowadays, they just wouldn't sell very well against domestic trucks. _________________ 71 LWB Manx style dunebuggy

It's certainly not going to sell like the big three + Toyota, but the Honda Ridgeline does well for what it is. I would expect the Amarok to do the same. |

The "domestic" manufacturers are just now getting back to the mid-size/compact truck after they ignored them for may years. This truck appears to be light years ahead of any mid-size truck the domestics have or are making currently. But being that I have no use or need for a self powered trash can(large or small), I'll keep my opinions to myself... |
