Interesting, not sure I like the looks, maybe it would grow on me.
Fit and finish would be top notch that's a given.

I have seen some rumors of this...probably wouldn't jump in on the first year or two, but that would be about the only thing to get me to leave Nissan at this point.

A European pick up? Can you say high maintenance costs? Is it just me or does it look like the love child between a Ridgeline and a Frontier?

Not during the first 3/36. VW includes all routine maintenance during that period. After that just find a good independent or DIY and buy your parts online and it won't cost much more to maintain than your Nissan.

This is coming from a guy that currently owns a VW.

True true... I have owned 2 of them.... With a good shop at your back your good... and VW does a GREAT job inside the warranty period...

I read somewhere it's for the European and South African, I think, market. Not for the US, at least at the moment.
