Volkswagen Touareg Pick-up Truck Resurfaces!

From autoscoops.eu

Here was the original concept which was shown with the introduction of the VW Touareg in 2000. It was a gorgeous design but was not created due to market demands.


And it has resurfaced in 2006 as a custom created by VW Individual, a division within VW which makes police vehicles and limousines.



I think it has gone in the wrong direction. It looks more of a hickish frankenstein freak that looks like a Ford F-150. The diamond plate is nice, but a bit too much. I hope they go back to the original 2000 concept and see where it was headed.

It would be great to see a VW Touareg Pick-up but not the VW Individual design. It needs to have 4 seats and not look like it was built by Ford. A Turbo Diesel Injected (TDI) powered Pick-up would be perfect.
