Really noob here, don't flame OK?I am wondering, with those pick-up truck whose performance numbers are like those of performance car... and half the price of performance car... why does one need a performance car?
I am of course being a total noob and comparing pick up like Isuzu V-Cross/Triton VGT versus WRX/Golf GTI.
Their numbers are almost the same... 200ps/350Nm, 4WD and sold for around RM 100K. I can buy two of these one, say a TritonVGT and one Isuzu V-Cross, still got extra spare cash to buy accessories some more.
Honestly, I don't know why anyone would still want those performance car...

Some basic differences
- chassis dynamics (high center of gravity, aerodynamics, body roll)
- steering feel
- gear ratio (lower gears tend to b shorter for trucks)
- NVH
- twitchy truck rear end due to missing weight at rear end
- diesel vs petrol torque curve and power delivery
In summary, since u hv driven a Golf GTI u can try test driving a truck to feel it yourself.
