Our fleet manager put a couple of (admittedly the first model) Amaroks into service when they were released here... after their 3 years were up, no more were ever ordered. HiLuxes, Rangers and Colorados are not only nicer to drive, but far less expensive to keep on the road.
Friend of mine bought one, and found it didn't have the grunt to tow his caravan - the same caravan his old Nissan Navara had dragged around no worries. After spending several thousand dollars on an exhaust, ECU tune, etc., he gave up, and lost several thousand more dollars trading the VW in on a secondhand 200 Series LandCruiser...
