For those interested in the upcoming, but-not-for-the-USofA VW pickup, here are a couple of videos to further frustrate you. The first is of the surf-rescue concept that was shown at the IAA back ib September. The other is a camo-clad test mule.

The camo'd test mule looks like a GM Colorado/Canyon; The forward curve of the c-post & door sill, trapezoid wheel openings, and stubby cargo bed. Another GM re-badge?????

Funny - the interior vents remind me of the Ford F-150's.

Am I missing something? Even with the drop in truck sales, isn't the US the biggest world market for pickup trucks (or one of the biggest)? If VW is going to the trouble of doing a pickup, why aren't they going to be selling it here?

The only foreign market pick-up that would be a substantial improvement over any current offerings is the Toyota Hi-Lux Diesel(s). If that VW mule is a GM, then they can keep it in Europe (where it will probably get a small displacement turbo-diesel).
