Spy Pics: Volkwagen Pickup Truck

This test truck was seen in Germany just few hours ago. It appears to be a mid-size quad-cap pickup truck with a short bed. Click here to see more and bigger pictures What do you think of it? Should VW make a truck now when gas prices are getting higher and higher and pickup sales are dropping worldwide?

would be typical of VW, they have a tendency to come a bit late to the game.

Having said that ...they had a pickup before, the Taro, a re-branded Hilux.

And this is what the new Taro is supposed to look like

this looks like a rival for the Mazda B2500 or the old Hilux, it's hardly in the same league as the Touareg, or even going to be aimed at the American market.

strange that the fuel tank is on the other side too..

I think Taro was just a concept that they showed. They never even tested it.
