It will be a great exhibition, best wishes for a success for this
event,UK,Italy,Taiwan,China,and Malaysia will have the opportunity to display their cars.Pakistani manufacturers will
display their vehicles, Suzuki,Honda,Toyota,the Pakistan roads,and traffic needs smaller cars like Suzuki Mehran,Alto,if UK just market their Austin Mini at economical price it will be very
sucessful in Pakistan,while Fiat 500,and Fiat 600 could also be
sucessful,besides Taiwan and China will display their cars at affordable prices.Through courtesy of your esteem Dawn Group a message of austere measures be adopted by the ministers or chief
Ministers in Pakistan,to lessen the weight on Pakistan economy,
ministers be ordered to use cars of not more than 1600cc and CMs
Not more than 2000cc,and no more than 2 protocol cars,the
nuisance created by protocols in today's world is silly act,and no
where such protocol is seen like in Pakistan.The rulers must show austerity ,they must realise their country is poor.

Even after the auto show, we'll still have the box-on-wheels Mehran. The Big 3 cartel will also remain the same. There will be no benefit to the common Pakistani so what's the use of such an exhibition?

A cruel joke with the majority of people in Pakistan, like Metro Orange and Green. These are the priorities of an inept Government only for the rich.
