Spotted on the roads this morning on the Shaheed-e-Millat extension.

My personal view, I probably would not want to own a beauty such as this, not as long as random dig ups on roads are common.

    WOW!
    ” so many posts so little time ”
    Its like going on a ride, commenting on our way with spicy jokes (with caution) looking at the interesting things.
    Or looking at a daily megazine and finding interesting pics/stories/topics on every page.
    Its fun !
    Good job guys/girls

    Huh? ye gundi si Nissan Z per hum mer rahe hain? Wake up people its just a Nissan and its not even the latest model.

    If you like the “roadsters” you must at least check out Audi TT, Chrysler crossfire, Merc SLK, or my favorite Cadillac XLR. This old nissan is not even a hard-top convertible. Yes Ager Mazda RX8 hoti to bhi main manta as that has serious legacy & a rotary engine under the hood.

    Such luxury cars are for cruising only you can’t park it anywhere but your home, right?

    A for [pine]apple,

    Comments* to your post is closed so I’m posting a question here.

    First thanks for sharing a picture second what kind of magic you applied to that pic.

    * I wonder what happened to free speech on that post why is it closed :D?


  11. A for [pine]apple (unregistered) on November 1st, 2007 @ 12:38 am

    hey Neena, its not the free speech :P actually on all metroblog posts, you may not have noticed, posts 2 months older automatically gets closed for comments.

    Magic is Picassa :-)

    Karachi amazes me with its cars. Great Pic.
    BTW Nissan GT-R is due 2009. Wait till you see that and you will forget Mehran and FX makeover.

    How much does this car retail for in Pakistan? Would like to compare it to prices in the U.S.


  15. Fahad Khan (unregistered) on November 2nd, 2007 @ 12:24 am

    As for the price, I think the taxes drive up the cost a lot in Pakistan (I know in China, certain cars end up costing 2x as much as the US). This car and the Murano are about the same price in the US, I got a Murano last year and was looking at how much it would cost to have it in Pakistan. Incidentally, I remember my dad telling me about his friend who shipped his 350Z in the 70’s to Karachi.
    If it is twice as much, that would take it to around $58-70k for a new one, but I would also like to know how much it sells for in PK. (The car in the picture looks a few years old though.)

    @XIA

    Please…..lets give the “Nissan GT-R” due credit and rightly call it the Nissan SKYLINE GTR :)

    Boy O Boy what a car!


  17. stabani (unregistered) on November 2nd, 2007 @ 6:45 am

    @Razi: It’s the Nissan GT-R, Not Skyline GT-R. A Skyline (Infinti G35/37) remains separate from the 350Z and the GT-R

    I actually owned one of these, they are a beauty to drive, though a pain sometimes especially over bumps and less-than-safe neighborhoods.


  18. Razi (unregistered) on November 3rd, 2007 @ 1:17 am

    @STABANI:

    Did you own a SKYLINE in Karachi? Its unfortunate that this lovely car never made its way across to the US else I would surely have test drive one.
