Not saying this hasn't been done or anything...

They are not related and the bed is seperate on the VW but...

umm...

ferchristsake

Ohh, the bed is seperate. That IS new

Yeah, but the VW has tires that don't explode, so that's new.

I kinda like the looks of it, but I heard from sources (autoblog), that it wasn't coming stateside. maybe the canucks will get another cool thing that we cant.

It also appears the VW has a solid rear axle so it might even be a real truck. VW also makes lots of diesels. I would love a diesel compact pickup to come on the market. I've heard about the Mahrinda (sp?) truck but I don't know if it will actually make it here.

A local dealer has the Mid Michigan rights to Mahindras truck once they gain import authorization. They are prepping to build a big garage on Pennsylvania Avenue.

It seems like the last trunk Mahrinda made wasn't very good. It made it in a book I have of the world's worst cars because it feel apart so quickly.

Really? That's some bad history there, hopefully they've fixed the build quality issues. 35 mpg from a 4X4 with some serious torque (300 ft lbs) makes me very happy.
