You are correct on the first part. It's not even available in Thailand with the V6. So i'm assuming it's only really going to be available in Oz and NZ from Thai production.

But yes they have significantly underscored the demand for the V6TD here. Which is baffling considering the precedent VW set with the V6TD Amarok which made up the bulk of it's sales here. Somewhere in the region of 70% I think. How did they expect only 20% of people to tick the V6TD box when ordering, considering how much of a power hungry nation we are?
