Porsche And Audi Plan US Production To Avoid Tariffs, Audi May Get Spinoff Scout SUV: Codenamed - Hardcore

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
I had an Eagle SX/4 for a while. At one point, I got the crazy idea of putting it on a Scout II frame and making a serious off road rig. Did some preliminary research, but never got around to actually moving forward with the project.
I like this one...

Porsche And Audi Plan US Production To Avoid Tariffs, Audi May Get Spinoff Scout SUV​


"...Another option allegedly being considered is for Audi to share production space with VW Group’s new Scout EV at the South Carolina site that’s currently under construction. The story says Audi could get a tough Scout spinoff SUV, currently codenamed “Hardcore,” though it won’t appear until 2028 because Scout is the priority and its first model doesn’t debut until 2027..."

That just seems like more ammunition for dealer lawsuits. You are trying to establish a completely hands off relationship, and then you turn around and sell one Scout variation at Audi dealers...
