    Bi turbo would be the preference, however i have to wait a year for a single cab, and then they dont know if it comes in the bi turbo!!!!

      Not that I work for VW but I believe there will be a BiTDI in single cab guise.

          Wouldn't the choice also depend on what the driveline options are for each engine....VWoA have a history of offering limited driveline flexibility with respect to 4Motion and various engines

            At this point the only confirmed driveline for Australia is the 120kW BiTDI (or TDI400 ) with a choice of RWD or Selectable 4MOTION with Low Range.

            We have heard about the other two engines but nothing is confirmed as yet. What I'm hearing from VGA is the petrol will launch at the same time as the single cab. The 90 has kind of faded away so not sure what's happening there. Also, the 3 torsen diff 4MOTION has not been included on the Australian Spec Sheet at this point.

                If I could change my vote I would

                2.0 BiTDI now is my choice

                      The BiTDI is awesome. We have a ramp here where we drive cars up on to be higher up and stand out more in our yard. I put our preview Amarok up on it yesterday and didn't need any throttle at all, the thing just went up on the clutch at idle, even when I had to stop half way up to straighten up and then start on the incline.

                      Can't wait to drive one on the open road and see what it's really like - booked in for training on the 2nd of march, can't wait!!

                          Referring to the engine, not the turbo system
