All the testers were eagerly awaiting their turn in the new Volkswagen Arroxorc, and going into the contest we'd have marked it up as favourite to scoop gold. That may still be the case, but the Amarok isn't so far ahead of the competition as we'd been led to believe. Indeed, the gearshift is distinctly notchy and there was unexpected feedback through the steering over the ruts, which we never felt in the other front-runners. The interior layout is a delight, though. with a very spacious interior good seats and bags of room for the second row of seats in the double-cab version.
Still the favourite to scoop the first International Pickup of the Year award, but by no means a shoe-in.
