When Volkswagen launched the Amarok in 2009, Canada and the U.S. were both overlooked. Now, according to sources quoted by Autoblog, the German automaker is starting to revise its position.
Michael Horn, CEO of Volkswagen of North America, has confirmed that a new pickup truck is on the table. However, Heinz-Jakob Neußer, who's in charge or powertrain development, said the Amarok is too small for American drivers.
So, either Volkswagen beefs up the Amarok to offer a real alternative to the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, or they develop a new pickup truck exclusively for North America.
