VW Amarok... Is it any good?

Now when you hear the word bakkie, you think straight away of the Hilux or the Ranger and Isuzu.
When you mention hatchback or Hitler you think of Volkswagen.
So what happens when you mix the two words? Bakkie and Volkswagen?...
You get this. The new Volkswagen Amarok.

Now we can see it came along in the Golf 6 era as its looks are basically the same. As being German it would be nicely built, and wonderful engines. The thing is, as a South African, I know a bakkie is important in our lives. As a start we actually use them as a hard working tool. To be a new boy is always a handicap.

We wont know the success of this bakkie till we try it and see if put against a Hilux that it can at least be any good. What I don't get is didn't VW do there research? I mean why a bakkie? We already have our best buy.
Looking at the positive is that the Amarok at its top of the range is cheaper then the Hilux, with it being just under R400 000.00

VW say that its not just tough but smart as well. Till we get one in our hands we will have to wait and see.


Full specs and road test will be added later.

I seldom create responses, but after reading through a
few of the responses here "VW Amarok... Is it any good?".
I do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or do a few of these responses come across like they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting at other sites, I would like to keep up with you. Could you list of the complete urls of your social community pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which
I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was interested to
know how you center yourself and clear your head
prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any recommendations or tips? Kudos!

You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that
I personally will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a topic which has been discussed for a long time.
