I hate when they attempt to redesign a proven thing.

They will be making them here in my city.
We just got Volkswagon.
Chattanooga is booming for the time being .

That's what I was thinking. A lot of people who have trucks don't really need a truck and this would be good for them. MPG not too bad, can haul 5 people, can haul a kitchen table or something like that in the back, maybe?

Yep, Doc has one of those Ford "trucks." The bed is square, lol.

THE CALM ONE!!!!
Ha people tell me all the time our Honda Ridgeline 'isn't a real truck'. Big deal, I gots lots of 'real' trucks. Groceries, dogs, the odd little bit of crap and we travel in comfort, power, handling, and all in a size my wife is comfortable with driving and parking. There's a market for sure, which is obviously why they're out there.

they dont need big beds.....people buy these here for their personal/business use....basically its a nice car, the advantage being, its classed as a truck and you can claim back the vat(17.5%) which you wouldnt be able to on a car. besides, who wants to chuck crap in the back of such a lovely truck?

I'm sure that's a nice ride, but I want one like the old VW pickups. Simple, efficient, but new enough not to be a rot box POS. All I need most of the time is something I can throw a couple of saws and a shovel into, I've got a 3/4 ton for heavier work.

They look jus like Nissan Frontier's, a bit of a bite off.

Sweet ride. VWs have some of the best resale values but not with their SUVs.
I don't see the need for a huge pick up to do tree work. I always worked as a climber, not a tree part hauler.
I have done tree work out of three VWs. They worked well $$$$$$$
