RENDERED: Check The New VW Robust Pick-Up Truck

**sewn up**

y does it need to b as big as a v6??? but i do agree with you on the diesel part

I mentioned a V6 because a TDI 4 does make good torque but just in case, offer a TDI 6 so that theres even more torque which truck buyers need of course.

It is grammatically correct.... WCF has delivered worse, it must be said.

Check out the Studebaker Expresses and some of their other offerings. After that you may have to go to the late 40's Fords to see a good looking truck. In my opinion the Dodge Rams of the last couple of generations have been hideous. Toyota in their characteristic lack of originality chose these to copy. It just hasn't been that good of a looking segment for 50 plus years.

I do think there are attractive pickups on the market. The latest GMC Sierra is very good-looking, for example. What happens is that pickups are governed by a design language that's entirely different to that of the rest of the industry, and many people do not get that idea. A pretty pickup is NOT a good-looking pickup. A rugged pickup may be a good-looking pickup. For example, if you're looking for a bouncer for your bar, who would you rather hire, a man with the "pretty," femenine features of Leonardo di Caprio, or a man with the looks of the Undertaker? Now that's a good-looking man right there. Many non-American companies seem not to understand that. When Americans are buying pickups, they don't want to buy Leonardo di Caprio faces. They want Undertaker looks, and most foreign pickups don't deliver in that sense. Toyota understood that. Toyota understood that, compared to a F-350, their old Tundra looked like a Gossip Girl actor. Then they gave the new Tundra more aggressive looks. Now, if Volkswagen were to sell their pickup in North America, it'd be best for them not to expect huge sales numbers. Even if their car looked much more aggressive than this rendition?which I doubt it will?it is no secret to anyone that pickup buyers tend to prefer the national product. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a pickup guy. I don't even live on a red state. (Oh well, yes, I do, but I live on one of the bluest metro areas in the country.) I'm not even like those guys who hate foreign cars. I'm a fan of Mercedes sedans and BMW sports cars above all. That, however, doesn't mean I have any prejudice against the pickup market. It seems like nowadays it's "cool" to hate pickups, pickup drivers, pickup designs, and all that stuff.

lol Thanks for the post, Andres2007. It's true what you're saying about pickup styling, but would you consider any of these pickup designs timeless? That's the real measure of beauty, in my opinion. It's also true what you say about hating on the pickup driving community; however, as a recreational cyclist, I've been hating pickup truck drivers long before it became popular. ;-)

Well that is true. There are few pickups that actually look good after 20 years. "Few," not "none" :p

But yea, the day of the Truck is nearing its end.
