VW Touareg To Become A Pickup?

This is a nice truck and it reminds me of the Honda, Nissan and Toyota pickup trucks, but it's a truck for fun only.

Not for work.

Individual? Is this the next marketing scam?

Not a very nice looking truck from the side, but if ever there was an argument for a 4 or 6 cylinder diesel, this thing should be the beneficiary.

Now where did I heard VW truck? Oh yeah, me.

the VW AAC Concept was presented to shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed the president of the UAE when he signed a contract with VW buying 10% of the company's shares...

VW will be building a huge processing plant in Abu Dhabi the capital of the UAE which will be a huge advantage for VW when it comes to boosting thier sales in the mid-east region...

I think its a good Idea.
Hell, there is a market for the Escalade Ext and the Navigator Pickup so why not this ?

I would buy one if it had the V10 diesel in it (Perfect For Africa Countrysides)

Is there a law that says all pickups must pass the rubicon trail in order to be called a truck?
I am the current owner of a mint VW rabbit pickup and it's all the pick-up I need.
It's really the best of both worlds, ecomomy car when you need to commute and a hauler for that occasional Home depot run.
Chevy El Caminos were popular during their day and it was clear peoplel have a desire to buy vehicles that do both.

Bring back the Thing before VW does this. Ridgelines are an alternative for someone who cannot handle driving a full size behemoth.

Actually, this things only true competition would be the Ridgeline, and possibly other mid-size trucks like the Canyon and Ranger, although they're priced way below the Ridgeline.

Wonder what the pricing will be.

Even then, the Ridgeline has 4 doors and a real cabin.

The back looks like a Bentley rear end looking from the side profile. Touareg a pickup I don't think it will be good because the SUV's supposed to be a luxury SUV. It's very luxuriously appointed eventhough it sits under the VW brand. As you all see VW has a luxury sedan too, the Phaeton, which totally rules out Audi as it's luxury brand.
