2010 Volkswagen Robust Pickup Spied In United States

Despite rumors that VW won't sell its upcoming pickup, the "Robust" (that probably won't be its final name) in the US, the company does appear to be conducting hot weather testing here. It looks like the 2010 VW Pickup will be sold exclusively in markets that appreciate simple, well-engineered, utilitarian pickups rather than leather-trimmed, gargantuan lifestyle accessories. Befitting that purpose, a range of common-rail diesels will be offered in addition to a gasoline V6. More »

Europe Denied 2010 VW "Robust" Pickup, Heidi Klum Dismisses With Harsh "Auf Wiedersehen"

Volkswagen has confirmed their 2010 Robust pickup was just too robust for the European market (and gas prices). Though the decision makes sense in light of current trends, we'd like to point out the VW pickup has been undergoing advanced testing and isn't completely dead, since VW will continue with planned production in Argentina for emerging markets.

2010 Volkswagen Robust Pickup Spotted With Grille

The quick shutters at KGP got more photos of the 2010 VW Robust, this time showing much more of that robust grille action than we've seen before. Apparently, this design is similar to what is being considered for the 2009 Golf/Rabbit (no shock there). There has been some back-and-forth on what this Volkswagen truck will end up being (Taro, posisbly), but what we currently think is that the new VW pickup will hit showrooms as a 2010 model and will be built in Hanover, Germany and Argentina. Full spy report below the jump.

2010 Volkswagen Robust Pickup

Brenda Priddy, the femme fatale of car spy photography, got us one heck of a scoop today — real, live and non-blurry photos of the new Volkswagen pickup truck tester. We've been told this mid-size hauler will be called the 2010 VW Robust in certain markets, but that's speculation as of now. What's also speculation is whether we'll end up seeing it here in the United States and of course whether the new four-door pickup from the brand all about "Fahrvergnügen" will end up hitting showrooms as a 2010 model year product. What we do know is current plans are for it to be built in Hanover, Germany as well as Argentina. Full spy report from Brenda Priddy below the jump.
