The Caddy came into fruition when Volkswagen was experimenting with Golf derivatives, an estate and a pickup.

Volkswagen of America was interested in the pickup, and Volkswagen released the Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup in North America, produced at the Volkswagen Westmoreland Assembly Plant in Pennsylvania from 1978 to 1984. Trim levels such as LX and Sportruck were available. In North America the Caddy came with 2 engine choices. The 1.5L diesel and the 1.7L petrol. One unique feature of the diesel was that it came with a 5 speed gearbox, with the 5th gear labeled as “E” or “Economy”. The Caddy actually wasn't called Caddy until 1982 when it was released in Europe.

The Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup competed with other coupe utilities such as the Ford Courier and Subaru BRAT of the time.
