Hi there,just want to add my .02$ on the proposed truck.Just set it next to a Chevy Avalanche.See any resemblence?...lol...looks just like a re-badged Chevy...cmon VW get creative,and not so copy catish....I also agree that VW needs to try to be the industry leader in fuel mileage,and cargo capacity also.If they want to even stay alive in a tough market,they need to bring out the "big guns",not a little sligshot.Just check out most European VW website look what they offer over there.Thanks,and keep dubbin

That's what I thought when i saw the truck too, especially the rear bed bar thingy....Avalanche. I don't think that the VW truck is the same size as the Avalanche, nor is capable of the towing capacity of the Avalanche. I hear you on the copy cat thing; the whole Routan thing doesn't sit well with me, but that's just me...heh, they might have success with it, i dunno- I wish them well

Honda Ridgeline Grabs First-Ever Baja 1000 Win

Perhaps finally putting an end to rumors that unibody trucks can't cut it (um, nah... that'll never happen...), a Honda Ridgeline took first place in the "Stock Mini Class" in the 41st SCORE Baja 1000. Piloted by Gavin Skilton, the Ridgeline battled Rod Hall in a Hummer H3, and Ryan Millan in a Toyota FJ Cruiser, for the win.

STOCK MINI (Stock, mini trucks)—1.Gavin Skilton, Orange, Calif., Honda Ridgeline, 21:22:21 (29.54 mph); 2.Rod Hall/Mike Winkel, Reno, Nev., Hummer H3, 22:51:17
(4 Starters, 2 Finishers)

Proof that Honda products and technology are off-road tough! (waiting for flames )
