Volkswagen Amarok

2011 Volkswagen Amarok

The Amarok name, which means wolf in the Inuit language, possesses predator-like attributes like the wolf hunting its prey, and the Volkswagen Amarok is the only predator that packs a punch from Europe, Africa, and South America.

Available as a double-cab only, the Volkswagen Amarok seems to be "macho" in the eyes of an entrepreneur. Could the Amarok be fair enough for the small business owner to take advantage of its rugged features? I guess not, but it depends on the entrepreneur's taste for business vehicles. Aside from being a business partner vehicle for the next generation of entrepreneurs, the Amarok makes a perfect gimmick trip friend that takes you places, even teenagers ready to bring their friends on their exciting adventures.

What can I say about the Amarok's interior? Well, for some reason, the interior seems to be OK for me, but it needs to be more luxurious to bring out its best. Therefore, the interior seems to be a bland mix of where you to look or where you want to relax, depending on your flavor. Imagine if I was an arms dealer, I would use the spacing on the Amarok to deliver military supplies to the troops, if you know what I mean.

The most difficult part to master on the Amarok is the standard 6-speed manual transmission, which means you are going to take things seriously to master the wolf within reach. The standard engine available for the Amarok is the Euro5-compliant, 2.0-liter BiTDi diesel engine with a power output of 163 PS. That engine has more power than the Toyota Hilux's 3.0L diesel engine, but would that be enough to outwit the Japanese pick-up trucks?

My thoughts about the Amarok:
The Amarok, when it reaches the Philippines, could be the most overpriced pick-up ever sold, because of the pricing that exceeds 3-4 million pesos, and it is more expensive than the Japanese pick-up trucks. This wolf will not be able to bring down the Japanese rivals by its pricing, but the performance side is the only main advantage for the Amarok. If you are really up for the challenge with the Amarok, make yourselves fine before challenging it. If you are with the Amarok, good luck trying it, the decision is in your entrepreneurship hands.
