I just thought this was funny. I'm surprised no one has actually made one!

I bet that Transporter is still more off-road worth than an Amarok...

BTW some Volkswagen truck pictures


Just to clarify, Polar is one of the most traditional beers from Rio Grande do Sul but it's not related to the Cervecería Polar from Venezuela

I bet that Transporter unloads the dashboard package shelf onto the floorboard every time it lands.

I've never seen one of these:

Volkswagen Hormiga (500 examples)


The Finnish Teijo truck (200 examples)


Quote:
[I]t was about the size of a modern-day Volkswagen Polo and is perhaps one of the rarest Volkswagens in the world because it was never sold in a developed market.

It was evaluated for production in the following countries: Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Pakistan, Indonesia, Turkey and Mexico. It was built and sold in Turkey as the EA489, in the Philippines as the Trakbayan ("Country Truck" in Filipino), in Indonesia as the Mitra ("Partner"), and in Mexico as the Hormiga ("Ant" in Spanish).
