STUD OR DUD? Ford-VW Global Alliance Spawns A New Amarok Pickup

The Nivus small crossover wasn’t the only new model teased by Volkswagen during the Annual Media Conference as a design sketch of the second-generation Amarok also made a brief appearance. The adjacent image was shown in the background when chairman Herbert Diess said the Amarok will be one of the first fruits of the collaboration between Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Ford.

As some of you will recall, the two companies revealed plans for a global alliance in January 2019 to collaborate on commercial vans and pickups. It means the second-generation Amarok will share many of its bits and pieces with the all-new Ranger once the midsize trucks will go on sale later this decade.

The Ranger is an OK, but hastily adapted Third-World special that was already old before it debuted and a new generation cannot come soon enough.

Seriously WTF? Are you the "UN Special Envoy" to South Korea or just one of these deranged libtard white dudes "offended by everything" (Korean/KIA/Hyndai) race police as every comment you make is basically boilerplate?

Newsflash and you're going to need more counselling/medication but KIA and Hyundai products suck ass & are cheap garbage that fall apart after warranty end -just ask ANY mechanic. They have made some progress but still can't hold up long term as evidenced by resale values and many former owners that I know that have moved on from the wannabe brand...
