BMW Pickup Truck
 

Sure, its a custom. But its only a matter of time before the Germans (including Porsche) launch factory trucks. With SUV/CUV sales through the roof, how much longer can the Germans ignore the nearly 2M unit truck market? Probably not much longer.

Not sure if it if fugly or cool looking

looks like a modern day El Camino or Ranchero.

VW has a truck (Amarok) in foreign markets already... akin to the Tacoma.

This is the answer to a question no one has asked.
It my be cool, but it's also totally pointless. No manufacturer sells many mid size trucks.
If you were truly truck shopping, wouldn't a Z71 Silverado (or any other full size V8 4x4) be what most North Americans would want to roll in?

I am wondering if the luxury truck market would be similar to the SUV market - meaning that the vast majority of SUV buyers essentially use their SUV like a minivan.

Might luxury German truck buyers purchase a mid-size truck since they will rarely use it for actual truck purposes?

Hey - didn't Ford release the Ranger again last year in many parts of the world? And the Australian Holden is very popular. Those are both half-sized pickups, so must be a niche market in parts of the world.

Anything is possible.....but I still can't decide if the BMW is crazy ugly or actually kind of cool. Would have to see it in person to really decide.

Maserati is making a SUV & I think Bentley & Jaguar is too.

I was looking forward to buying a Pontiac/Holden Camino based on driving a Holden Monaro 6-speed LS-1 right-hand drive version.

smaller coupe utes are very popular in Australia, GM/holden (also sold in south africa as a chev) and the ford falcon ute available with hi po v8 and the fords with a turbo straight six
