The comparasions I have read in overseas Mags say that the Toyota doesn't get a look in, preformance wise, space wise including deck or comfort wise..........case closed

An "overseas magazine" isn't quite a test drive from a impartial party. Its a platform for selling vehicles. So the case is still quite open knobby

And i thought you were selling bags Hans, now you are an authority on engines........................... >:D

I play with performance VAG's all day now Noel, turned down a ride in a Amarok the other day  ;)

M

Well I haven't driven the Amarok yet but have driven a Twin Turbo Tdi Van, there is no way the engine is Gutless.  ??? ???

Your mate sounds like the typical "Big is better" type. VW are taking the piss out of Toyota with 1/3 less capacity. The stats don't lie and the engine refinement and technology is leagues ahead of a Hilux.  8)

And if hea seriously said his 2.5 Range Rover made it feel like a slug he needs to stop smoking P.  ;D ;D
Too much power is almost enough.

A van would only be 2wd so a whole lot lighter I would think M??
A 4wd Amorak will most probably weigh at least 2600 or 2700 kg's.

I am biased towards the Hilux, but I was hoping the Amorak would be better as I will be updating my ute next year.
It is a great looking truck and I'm sure the tdi technology is good but as I mentioned I am very biased towards the Toyota,
so it is going to have to be pretty damn good.

Its actually a Holden badged Isuzu. 3.0 Intercooled Turbo Diesel, not as powerful or as nice a ride as the Hilux. But overall a pretty good wagon. The tray is slightly smaller and less leg room in the back seat. My supervisor uses this one so as long as he is happy with it - we're all happy. I have an Isuzu Elf 250 which we have had a really good run out of, so we are expecting great things from the Rodeo.

Multivan is 4Motion, 2300kg unladen

Amarok in 4Motion is 2200kg unladen in it's top spec form, or as light as 2000kg in 4wd.

One of my clients, (the guy who test drove the Amorok and found it to be gutless) got an update from the stealership

They said 2012 will see it come out with a 3.0 Engine and an Auto box. Only available in manual at the moment.

Until it does it will be playing 3rd fiddle to the Hilux & Navara.

Who the hell is Phil?
Your the one who  rubbishes our work, dont start me on your work , the S3 race car for Audi, your files were dangerous , we were the ones who did all the work to get the car competitive.
Remember when you said on here that i blew up my skoda ecu and tried to claim it under warranty? Remember how skoda couldnt find any fault, and how they said it was my work?
Remember how i diagnosed the fault as a faulty wiring loom and found a service bulletin about it that neither you nor anoyone here had ever heard of?
Under warranty , fixed , thanks very much and never a problem since. So much for everyones experience with diesel.
You keep to your work selling off the back of  mtm when you have nothing official to do with them , and we will do ours.

Yes you are right,but the diagnistic came from Mr Gilbert not from you!So why you did not fixed it?Why skoda did it?You said you had to fix your own car because skoda give it up!It just not clean!Simon at Skoda (2010) he fixed it no?
I do my own stuff mate(tdi motorsport) not behaind MTM!As you know i dont work only with MTM but i have contact with tham from my work exp.
but anyway MTM is here and thay can look after thamself,thay dont need me!
Again i am not MTM offical agant!
I just use my experience and use the best files wich i know!
I did not s...t you I KNOW YOU!I think you are a very good buisness man and very smart,but you dont have much techical experience with VW group!(as you are not tech or traind tuner)
Anyway man!Your GTI was f...k quik but engine light on at all time!I can do same with no lights on!
Back to audi S3!MOTORSPORT PROJECT!I have got instruction from my boss:Turbo boost max 0.9bar and not more!!!!Factory is 1.2bar to 1.4bar!ABT GERMANY 0.9bar max boost with 12KW plus at wheels!And no limp mode no control lights!Please dont for get i was workin full for VW NZ,part time TDI Mtrst,and rally NZ and other stuff!The reason why you get this car,because i did let it go to you!And did it finish with your one?You got different set up no?1.4bar boost?

Skoda had no idea about fixing the RS TDi. I found the fault and i even bought the new wiring loom , but car was under new car warranty so they fitted it.
Why should i fix the wiring when its under new car warranty? I even took them the bulletin to show them what was faulty.
Anyway enough arguing on here, no one wants to read it so lets leave it there, you run your little business, i will run mine and thats the end of it aye.
