The VW/Skoda pickup is not based on the Polo, rather the old Skoda Favorit
pickup. The delivery van type (VW Caddy and Seat Inca) is not based on the Polo
either, rather the Seat Ibiza/Cordoba. They share all sheetmetal from the
b-pillar forward.

The VW Taro was nothing else but a Toyo Hilux with VW badges, the story on why
VW offered this model is that Toyo was looking for a partner that could build
the Hilux locally for the Euro market. VW agreed to build the Toyota in it's
Hannover Transporter plant, if they could sell VW badged models to fill the gap
betweeen the Caddy and Transporter pickup.
