That's Ok Mel.

Before you go and get another Vw, you got a 2000 Golf 1.8T that needs some lovin.

I know, I keep saying the same thing to you. LOL.

Edit: Aww man. I just noticed that this smiley is hitting the horse in the crotch.

Is it still animal cruelty if the animal is dead?

Anyone wanna play roadkill soccer? If your from the deep south, you can have it for BBQ once we tenderize it for ya. LOL.

If it was a TDI it could be the best selling truck in the market at a fair price not at a 50grand Toureg.... still cant believe it

and I also agree that it'd be a much better alternative to the Touareg for people wanting a European hauling machine, but TDI or not, nothing will ever surpass American and Japanese truck lineups in this country, imo. They've pretty much got our market cornered.

Finally, I don't know what you guys are talking about. VW truck? That's clearly a Bitsumishi logo.

My step dad has a 07 Tacoma and he really wants a diesel light pick up not a f350 or a 3500 ram. Built stronger engines more torque and just easier to take care of, and you could run your own bio diesel too. His friend has the bio diesel set up for him to use. I was in the Philippines and saw the surfs (toyota trucks just renamed from 4runner) it would dominate the market if they had it in the states back then more power and it would run forever. So it would sell imo and it would be better then most trucks.

In the article it says they stuck an upside-down Mitsubishi badge on it to keep away paparazzi.

Mahindra 2-door and 4-door diesel pickups will go on sale in all 50 states in February. 2.0-liter turbodiesel with almost the exact HP and torque of the VW 2.0 CR engine, hooked up to a 6-speed automatic (Aisin or JATCO). Don't know what they cost, but a VW pickup with the same specs would cost $10k more unless built in Mexico. OTOH, a VW pickup would come with 12-year anticorrosion warranty; the Mahindra will not, AFAIK.

For sure. I was just making an attempt at a mildly funny bizarro reference. Fail on me
