Honestly just give VW a pickup of their own and those dealers can just go away.

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.
They don’t care about selling the vehicles. They’re upset that they’re losing control over manufacturers and consumers.
Not once in the past 42 years did any VW dealer demand that VW start making the VW Rabbit Pickup again.
The irony with a render like this is common pick up buyers won’t buy this. The bed is nearly useless. Honda Ridgeline is more practical and established
Completely sore loser interest and giving NADA another platform to position to line politicians pockets
Seeking $150M more, Commerce shifts blame to SC agency not included in Scout negotiations
Sounds like a state issue and poor planning on their end, not a SM issue.
Completely agree. Lack of planning always costs more money
Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance
The article states "In a prior statement, the company said it “appreciates the State of South Carolina’s continued commitment to completing the earthwork and site preparation” but it did not approach Commerce or the governor about making the budget ask."
As mentioned, the poor management by state and county is not on Scout. And WHY should Scout offer to assist with the issue when the state legislature turned their back on modifying the state franchise laws? This is the kind of folks we have running our government. It's pathetic. Admitted by one of their own, a SC representative mentioned in the article is running a SC governor campaign ad stating "Columbia politicians are a bunch of CROOKS!". Sheesh...that says it all.

Someone did a render and turned the Boulder into a pickup.
That definitely looks like an ai hallucination of what a “truck” looks like.
I’m down in Costa Rica this week with family for spring break. I saw a vehicle I’d never seen or heard of. Of course it’s Chinese. The BAIC BJ40. But, this one looks pretty good in person. Of course they are knocking off the Wrangler unlimited. Nevertheless, something different. https://www.baicglobal.com/models/36

I thought it looked like what a child would do if you asked them to draw a truck. Front end, back end: same length! Little bump in the middle for sitting!
Kinda looks like a Bronco/Wrangler cross. Have a fun and safe trip!
Based on the misproportioned headlights I can see why many haven’t heard of them
