New York Auto Show, 2019 - Volkswagen Tarok Pickup Concept

Despite their expertise in making cars, Volkswagen executives just can't stop fantasizing about selling tricks in America, fast becoming a nation of truckers as SUVs, crossovers and pickups take over.

 

That's why VW displayed its new Tarok compact pikcup, slated to go on sale in South American countries. It has a 147-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder enginewith a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive.

 

Fabulous. Excpet taht every light pickup truck VW has ever offered for sale in These Staes has been rejected. Sadly, VW shows no incentive to offer any of its cars that are smaller then the Golf. I don't expect the Polo to come here anymore. Or the up! micro-hatchback. On the idea of seeing that in America, I've given up! I'm fed up! And if VW keeps trying to sell trucks when the Volkswagen brand stands for affordable drivers' cars, I just might throw up!
