Favorite imported car?
One of our readers, Adenwala, suggested that we start a new discussion about which imported cars are current hot favorites. So go ahead, tell us all you like.. what do you like about them.. any specific ones that you’ve seen and would want to point out..
Coming soon: Cars we love to hate :p
Okay, so my current favorites are the BMW 5series and the Hummer H2.
And yours? :)
Hey kirna! thanks for startin dis thread!! I would really luv to hear everyone’s views… i’d like to point out one thing though… please only list cars you see in karachi!
my fav’s are Pajero Mini and Toyota Vitz (Yaris)
aahh
thats not fair, i am away from karachi for 2 year how come i know which car is in and which is out,
anyways you guys go head and start i will enjoy your comments
by the way the time i left karachi mitsubishi was introducing its whole new series
i will back when there is some thing for
non-resident karachites
Is Volkswagen avaliable in Pak? I would like a Jetta
mine R Vitz and mini pajaro too..i love them..
Acura TL , simply different class …
Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 AMG
That car is sex on the road!
AUDI S4. “The Rings gives you wings!”
when i was in PK in dec., i spotted a couple of bmw x5s. glad that they made it there so soon. just cannot seem to egt enough of them in nyc. btw, they have a bmw certified sales program too, about getting a certified bmw after 5 yrs or smthg.
i have to say Merecedez Benz, yum yum yum.
i adore the indus shape Toyota Corolla. that coupled with japanese assembly compared to local is oooomph!
other than that: the new Mitsubishi Pajero. Being a Jeep Wrangler TJ 1998 shape fan, i have yet to see a car that leaves me completely awestruck
there are hummers in karachi?? since when???
i would say BMW but since they are too expensive to afford I would go for Accord. And it’s a nightmare maintaining a BMW in Karachi.
Honda Accord 2004/2005: Totally Classic
Toyota Vigo: Best looking 4×4
Toyota Vitz (2 door in cherry red) is an absolute delight..
Its kind of weird not to find any Porsche lovers on MB.
Hummer H2 ….. Beamer 5 Series…. and Vitz
This craze will take us down for sure. Already we are facing $8.9 Billion Trade deficit in 9 months of current fiscal year due to this Import ONLY! 3 month s still to go!
Hehe, so Umar, can you afford an Accord then? Please buy one soon, pleeeeaase :p lol
On other notes, I totally forgot to add Accord to the list. Not the ugly new wali, the 2004/2005 Acura wali. It’s ultimately classic.
And has anyone checked out the Acura Accord in teal color? I’ve only ever seen one of those, perhaps it was custom colored.. it was to-die-for!
Porsche Cayenne baby!
Bradley fighting vehicle – wish I had one here in Lahore; It is so tempting to destroy all the idiot drivers here.
Something interesting related to this thread – Here is a list of cars that have been spotted in Karachi recently. Some may suprise you!
Porsche 911
Toyota Supra
Nissan Skyline
Mitsubishi Evo
Nissn 350Z
Bentley Continental
Ferrari 360
Audi A4 (new shape)
Mercedes S Class (new shape)
Toyota Celica (new chape)
BMW 3 Series (new shape)
LOVELY!
Man people have too much money in Pakistan.
The above listed cars are quite expensive and then add import duty to it. How much is the import duty anyway? plus i wonder if the owner of these cars paid the import duty?
anyway, its a shame that some people in our city can afford these cars while others cannot even afford a meal twice a day.
@ Faisal >> dont be a party pooper yaar! let ppl enjoy what they can…
@AL Khan >> WOW! A Bentley in karachi??!?! now dat’s CLASS!!
I just updated my list! now its got Accord and Bentley in it too. lol!!
@UMAR
BMWs are expensive to maintain even here in the US :)
wow … a bentley continental. Wasn’t expecting that one. Having said that, im all for the mini cooper. better than sex …
I think Mini Cooper’s are fugly.
Al Khan: You forgot to mention:
BMW 5 series
BMW 6 series
BMW 7 series
Rolls Royce Phantom
Hummer H2
Hummer H1
Since you guys are going all ga-ga over Bentley Continentals’, I gather y’all haven’t seen Mir Khalil ur Rehman’s progeny’s acquisition: A brand new Rolls Royce Phantom!
Kirna: Therez no such thing as Acura wali Accord. The shape you are talking about is called Accord Euro, which was launched in Europe and Japan. The “nai wali” accord was also lauched at the same time as Accord Euro, however, it was for Middle East and American market.
I think the Accord Kirna is talking about is Acura TSX released in North America, I saw that car in karachi with a Honda logo at the front.
here is an accord

how about one of the oldies, like the mustang gt ?
Good ‘ol sweet, sexy, reliable, practical
and fuel efficient Suzuki Alto…..in black.
in small cars Daihatsu Coure Automatic , it zips through Shara -e- Faisal traffic when i go and pick my kids from school , in medium Honda Accords CL 7/8/9 , in large cars a Jag , in convertable a lotus , in pickup trucks Ford F 250 and 4 x 4 Cadillac Escallade ( I’ve seen one in Karachi and its a beauty )
the escalade looks a little boxy… but guess it’s roomy inside
Audi TT … It was class when it was released some years ago and …. a classic several years down the road.
Pity never saw it here.
Popularity of Vitz here: “if-its-toyota-it-must-be-the-best-thing-that-happened-to-the-world” syndrome in Pakistan.
Justification for above: “hey-its-small-too-i-have-vitz-not-your-regular-suzuki” side of thinking.
“Toita” sells. Unfortunately.
correction: Read “Audi TT … It was class when it was released some years ago and …. will most likely be considered a classic several years down the road.”
Catch this:
Pagani Zonda C12S
Sticker price: $370,000

Many people have stated effects these imported cars are having on the Pakistani economy, but the youth of Pakistan, who I used to be very proud of insist on talking about importing cars. I am truly disappointed.
