Officially Official: Volkswagen Amarok Pickup Makes The Scene

[chris.]

What do you mean "another wave"

You would be horrified by what I see happen to new car's. Not only VW's but all types of cars & model's.

I see VW's that are less than a year old or have less than 30K on them & there are absolutely atrocious! One car actually took our poor car cleaner over an 1.5 hours just to clean the interior & it was still stained beyond belief! It really was that bad. This was also a high spec Passat wagon too!

People just don't care dude. Remember that something like 80-90% of people use cars as transport only! Thats it. Why should they care or look after it!

Not everyone is an enthusiast or into cars at all.

Another way I see abusing cars is having the "so called" enthusiasts buy a VW, BMW or Merc etc& they buy it for there "so called" reliability or most importantly there safety features.

Then they go down to the tyre factory or tempe tyres etc & fit the cheapest nastiest wheel & tyre package they can find & say. Thats heaps better!

But in reality the tyres are no better than blocks of wood!

Yeah real clever! Spend 40-60K on a car & spend $1500 on a wheel & tyre package!

another wave as in like the transporters & crafters
tradies will get there hands on them and wreck them
and wannabe mx riders with put hectic 26'' chromes on and cover them with unit and rockstar stickers

and yer i know what your talking about
i cry every day when they come in i just want to hit some of the owners

and as you say "they may be only transport"
but im shore they have a damn vaccum and dust rag oh and some deoderizer lol

Sorry to say it dude.

But there already are Transporter, Crafter, LT & Muiltvan abusers & they've been here since they were first released.

Some are unbelievable!

Sure they may have a vaccum & rag.

That doesn't mean crap to them.

Its only a car. Thats it & nothing more.

Enthusiast's will never get why!

Its like trying to comprehend someone spending $20K on a stamp! Yes a stamp! I don't get it, but thats how some people are.

now THATS how they should come out of the factory

could prob do without the running boards on second thought tho. lol
