    No U.S. Amarok? The lucrative Mitsubishi Raider market will live on to fight another day.

    Most Excellent! Now I can replace my Tacoma with a diesel that has less than 300% more displacement than I need really. Until now, if you wanted a diesel truck, it was impossible to get anything less than a full blown towing rig. And I don't believe that it won't be coming to the US. There is too big a market for it, and they already have the engine emission spec'ed for the US market.

    When I sent a letter to VW requesting a new double-cab truck I should have been more specific.

    In Mexico, there is a ute-like VW pickup still made.

    Wait, it's probably not very expensive or equipped with any luxury features...that'll never sell in the US.

    It's a good looking little truck, though I really can't say that I'll miss it here - I still have an unfavorable impression of VW's quality and value, especially their utes.

    We're not getting VW's version of a truck with a pointlessly small bed? What is Inuit for "no great loss"?

    Another biggish truck with an itty tiny bed. If you're going to call it by an Inuit name, shouldn't it have the capacity to carry a useful amount of firewood? I understand that it gets pretty cold where those folks are from.

    Trucks should have real capacity, not a nodding acknowledgement of the need for capacity.

    Me: "Hi I think we've met before..."

    Amarok:"Sorry I don't think we have."

    Me:"Ya I am almost certain I have seen you somewhere before."

    Amarok:"Are you sure? You don't look familiar to me."

    Me:"It was a few years ago. You look a little different but I am certain it was you."

    Amarok:"Really? Sorry I don't recognize you."

    Me:"Oh I remember where we met. It was at the Chevrolet dealer. We talked a little while. Your name is Colorado isn't it?

    Amarok nervously stares at the ground her eyes reveal the answer.

    Me:"Wanna go for a drive sometime."

    Amarok interrupts as she heads for the door "I gotta go."

    Me:"Colorado!"

    Door slams shut.

    The end.

    @FrankGrimes: My previous job years ago we had some 5 Cylinder Colorados. They were such dogs in the sand... If the Amarok has any of the Touareg's DNA it would destroy a Colorado off highway. Factor in an interior light years ahead of anything in a Chevy truck...

    ahh screw it... we'll never see it in the states...

    All I see in that front-view photo is a great big bird being flipped at America.

    Hopefully they'll change their minds and jump into the pool with the Ranger, Colorado, Frontier/Equator, Dakota, Ridgeline, and Tacoma.

    If you want to be Automaker Über Alles, selling trucks in 'Mercuh can't possibly hurt.

    I wonder if they were going with a vague "loves rocks" angle in selling this across Latin America. Subliminable marketing or something.

    Hopefully, the next generation generation of VW cars will be named with more inscrutable names, picked by IKEA designers. The VW Kwobo, VW Jankko, VW Apskar etc...
