asim ali | 12 years ago | Reply I have compared the price with international market,,,its fine,,coz in japan altis is worth 15000$,,so its nearly acceptable here in pak for a brand new vehical,,but the problem comes with our national psychology,,we people are not safety concious,,,therefore we accept a brand like xli ,,,which is not installed with ABS brakes,,no airbags,,,in outside world every vehical has to pass bare minimum safety standards,,,we people in pak either dont care about safety or get blackmailed with few brands like suzuki mehran,,,can some one tell what they have furnished in mehran,,,and they are costing half a million ruppees,,so as a nation we have to rethink about it,,,i really appreciate the corolla manufacturers,,,atleast the have introduced some thing good,,,like ALTIS,,,dual vvti engine,,,good safety features,,,feul economy,,ABS,,,sunroof,,,so in nutshell we people can enjoy a good car out there on road,,,,as far as price is concerned,,,our policy makers should be F**ked why they took dollar value from 60 to 86 ruppees,, thanx for patient reading
