  • Any news on the Auto?

    I have seen the manual, think its great and the car for me. But I need an Auto. Do we have any further news on the Auto in regards to delivery dates, Auto type (heard 8 spd ZF?) and potential premium on existing model pricing? It has been a long wait and I am trying to stay focused!

        According to a press release from VGA at the announcement of the scirroco arrival, the petrol, auto and single cab variants of the amarok are to be launched within the next 12 months but as many of us waiting on polos have found out, there are more lies that come out of VGA than anything else.

            Yes, true, though supposedly spoken through the lying teeth of the VGA CEO....

              I was advised by my sales manager that they had a V8, Single Cab and Auto which is due to be released at the end of the first quarter next year. Still not sure where he heard this from though??

                LOL, that V8 rumor is a laugh. Will never happen.

                Single cab and auto are 2nd quarter next year.

                    Believe so, yes.

                    Aparrently there is only going to be one more launch so all those variants will come at the same time.

                      Wait and see! I don't believe that some or all other car companies would have V6 CRD engines with +550Nm torque and VW would be happy to stay behind.

                      Especially, when the Touareg is available with V6 and V8 TDI's.

                        I too would love a diesel v6 in the amarok. Would shake up the competition

                          4x4 Australia Rated the Renault engined Navara 550 as dissapointing, as an avid off road driver with an extensive background driving armoured vehicles (M113,ASLAV and Leopard), I REALLY cant see the need for any bigger engine, I spent $14000 on mods on my current truck, and the Trendline with 16's and a set of good M/T's makes my car look silly

                            I was at a dealer today and was told that they would be taking orders for the auto Amaroks in September with delivery in Q2 of 2012.

                            There's a limited edition Rok on display too with an odd mix of Amarok, trendline and Highline options.
