VW HiLux ???

[gpk_gti]

hi fellow dubbers,
I just saw a question on another thread regarding the Toyota Hilux . I remembered that ive noticed a few times when I was in europe there is a ute that looks EXACTLY like the early 90,s model toyota hilux with VW badging.I forget the name of it but it definately VW.This was not a one time occurance but a saw heaps of them.
Was this car developed with toyota??? I should have taken photos! anyone know anything about this???

Its called the Taro . Built with Toyota back in the mid to late 90s . Never sold here

The 4WDs were built by Toyota and the 2WDs were built (or maybe CKD) by Volkswagen. The VW made 2WDs were rebadged as Toyotas in Europe.

Spot on. Funnily enough the Taro (or whatever they choose to call it) is apparently returning but this time as a VW design and build and for worldwide distribution........including Oz.

2008 I believe.

As Seano stated VWCV are developing a new 1 tonne pick up (codename RPU or Robust Pick Up) to rival Navara & HiLux
