New Desi Mobile....? Or Not?

For some reason, I don’t see a lot of Pakistanis rushing to buy a Suzuki… (its a totally uncool label to brag about to your family back home).. but I must say, this one looks one swanky car, exterior styling wise… which is a bit of a surprise, seeing how dated and drab XL-7 is

Although Chrysler/Dodge are not exactly synonmous for reliability and quality, but some of their new Concept cars are interesting.

This one looks more like a 300 grand Bentley but the estimated price is 33k. Not bad ... :)

In Pak tou almost all Pakistanis, who can afford have Suzukis :konfused: We don’t have this one here though. :frowning: Before Hundai (sp?) came to Pak, Suzuki was considered to be most economical in comparison with the fancy Hondas and Toyotas. Now Sabros, Cureos and the others are becoming increasingly popular.

Chrysler and Dodge have improved a whole lot since the 80's when they released the K-Kar, one of the most successfal cars in history (sales), and which single handedly saved Chrystler from going under. However, the K-Kar was apparently one of the most unreliable cars ever made.

Chrysler had huge problems with their transmissions in the 80's. They made excellent cars in the 70's and 60's. They're making great cars now as well.

How much is it Faisal Bhai?

I think this Suzuki Verona (or Veronica?) ranges from $16k to $19k depending on the trim. So its right there with Accord/Camry.

suzuki Verona..

chrysler has some great new cars..the pacifica, the crossfire are to name just 2

Surprisingly, Pacifica and Crossfire are not firing up the people. I have heard sales are pretty disappointing. Kinda odd, cz Pacifica looks like a very decent vehicle in styling and interior. Crossfire is probably more for shauqeen people, being a two-seater and all.

I checked out the SJ Auto Show yesterday, and the verdict is in…

Beating out Merc S-class, BMW 7-series, Lexus LS 430, Acura RL and Infinity Q45… the winner is Audi A8. Man! what a car. Absolutely finger-licking good :yummy: Now, all I need is that spare 70k.

amreekan cars :nook: as the saying goes ‘fat tubs of lard’ the cars with 2 liter engin have better performance than the bloody 4 liter V 2000 from amreeka so i say kiss my chadis :stuck_out_tongue:

Merc S-class Lexus LS 430 :k: … A8 :nook: its so unrefined like all odees :stuck_out_tongue: we have an A4 … i would get a merc any day or 5 series for that matter

The A8 is actually quite handsome:

Re: New Desi Mobile....? Or Not?

What is the verdict on the 300C?
Why are there so many on the resale market only a couple or three years old?

I want the S-class and hubby wants a toy.....'

Re: New Desi Mobile....? Or Not?

Because the 300m is a rental favorite. Decent car for what you'll end up paying.
