Please, feel free mate. I'm not an owner of a new VW so I wouldn't know. I know I have problems with my own VW, but a few fault codes and some failed plastics on my car can't compare to the work that has to constantly go into the several Hiluxes in our company fleet.If you think Toyota's are bad!
Maybe I should start filling everyone one in how how bad current VW's models are!
I know who would win this!
I'm just putting it out there that everyone is comparing a vehicle that isn't even released yet to another that people think is the ducks guts, which it isn't.
I know, from personal experience with several of the current model Hilux that they are frankly a heap of crap. Toyota rushed through it's development because they got scared about Nissan beating them to the punch with the new European designed D40 Navara, which is even worse than the Toyota for reliability! My last car was a Hilux of the previous model shape and all I ever had was trouble with it. yet, my best friend who has an 80 series Landcruiser has never had a problem with his Toyota, even after drowning it more than once.
Like I said, it's clever marketing on Toyota's part. Just like the old "...built Ford tough...." campaign for the old courier, which was just a re-badged mazda!
Gav also might or might not work for a company that VAG GMbH has approached about accessories for said new dual cab ute....Pretty sure I saw pretty much that same quote on the Amarok information on caradvice.com.au.

VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

Sorry to say it dude.
But there already are Transporter, Crafter, LT & Muiltvan abusers & they've been here since they were first released.
Some are unbelievable!
Sure they may have a vaccum & rag.
That doesn't mean crap to them.
Its only a car. Thats it & nothing more.
Enthusiast's will never get why!
Its like trying to comprehend someone spending $20K on a stamp! Yes a stamp! I don't get it, but thats how some people are.
Here we go with Amarok's test drive for the journos ... notice the Mitsu badge camouflage
