Hopefully this will be a good mid priced option for Pakistanis, who often take out huge loans to buy corollas and civics.
Pakistan is on the upswing, Alhamdulillah

If this anti-PTI newspaper is giving a positive news about the PTI government, then it must be true.

assembly plants should be banned. It is like importing parts and plugging them together. You can do that in shershah too.

Pakistan needs small rechargeable battery cars. 1. Lessen the pollution. 2. No more noise. 3 less global warming. This is the way to future.

There was one proton showroom near noorani kebab in Karachi. There were 3 proton models available, but somehow, after an year, proton cars weren't available anywhere. A couple of people i knew, bought gen-2 and go version, and they were happy with them.

Public Response:

The potential buyers in market were very confused regarding the few factors that are related while buying a new car. Those who took the step of purchasing a Proton were really very happy with it. The consumer reports we gathered say that 90% of the people who bought a Proton vehicle were satisfied with it, including the value for money.

The Gen 2 gained most of the popularity among all others and considerably more units of Gen 2 were sold than the remaining 3 combined. The public was really impressed by the quality of the Proton vehicles as compared to the quality of the local vehicles. The pricing was also very economical as compared to the local vehicle lineup at that time, given the features and options you could get in that budget.

Unfortunately, the public backed off from this new venture due to some obvious reasons such as poor after sale services and incompetent mechanical services provided by the company and poor resale in the market.

Pakistan is way behind with her planning. Facial Fuel cars were ok 50 years ago when we slept.More and more companies are coming up with excellent battery cars.
