Retro touches are best when they"re subtle. And thus we admire the classiness of the VW Group"s nod to the Skoda Felicia Fun, buried a little beneath the surface of this Volkswagen Tarok pick-up. If you don"t remember the Fun, you need educating; it was a marvellously daft bright yellow pick-up, whose back seats that slid out into the rear deck when you wanted to use them, but which folded back away when you had large loads to carry. Click through the gallery if your brain really hasn"t bothered remembering its existence. This Tarok riffs off the same idea (perhaps inadvertently), but executes it in a much less flawed fashion, essentially because the its rear passengers aren"t exposed to the elements when they"re seated. Phew.
