Re: Pakistan launched its first locally designed car
this has been quite interesting and indeed a huge step.
the Adam jeep has been on the roads with a silent unpublicized presence for about a year now and it looks pretty ok. with the Revo Adam have formally launched their brand.
the Revo looks a bit like the Hyundai Santro from the bonnet front. the shape isnt bad at all. and the price they say of similar japanese models costing about 315000 must be that of the Suzuki mehran. the revo looks bigger than mehran, and while 315000 is for the most basic version of the tiny light and almost designless Suzuki mehran, ppl end up spending around atleast 400000 on the basic most car present in Pakistan, adding in the much sought aftre CNG kits and optional players and ACs which are not installed in the models starting around 315000.
the Revo's quoted price for starting models is Rs. 260000, with roughly another 40000 one can have a CNG, Player and AC and drive out all done in 300000. i'd say quite some diff.
now all thats reqd is for Adam to sell trust and make the economizing, reluctant, skeptical and low financed consumer and prove he wont feel sorry going for their make.
