VW make good Vans in Europe. Im sure they could a lot of that technology/knowlege in making a good truck.

See if it's done like most other dubs it might do well, I agree with the idea of a midsize diesel having the potential of sweeping the market. Again, it'll boil down to build quality and price.

Re: VW Amarok Testing

as much as i love vw's i would never buy a vw truck, i would stick to a brand that has made trucks for a long time and do a good job doing it like ford chevy dodge or toyota

Hi Guys. A couple of points.
1) North America will most likely not get the new diesel engines because they are designed to run on Low Sulphur diesel and all you have in NA is crappy High Sulphur diesel. This is due to the oil companies not wanting to upgrade the refineries because of cost and increased cost of refining.
2) The engine that will be available is a 2 litre twin turbo producing 410 nM of torque and approximately 135 KW of power. This will be available in either 6 speed manual ot 7 speed DSC.
3) The bed/tray can hold a Euro pallet (don't know dimensions) between the wheel wells. This is something the Nissan or Toyota Hilux CAN'T do.
4) As for the comment about "sticking with a company that makes trucks." Pull your head out of the sand.

You should get your facts straight. ULSD has been available in Canada since 2006! I actually filled up today at Husky with Diesel Max which is compliant with ULSD standards of below 15ppm.
