Indus motors might be launching prius hybrid in July 2013 so that prius hybrid fans or buyers will no longer have to buy imported 5 years old prius hybrid. Launching prius in Pakistan should be a big success for Indus motors. Keeping the fact in mind that petrol prices could be rising constantly in the following years ( I don't think so they are gonna decrease ) prius will be able to attract people easily as even now people are buying 5 years old cars prius. One thing which restrained them from buying those imported ones was that there almost are no mechanics for these hybrids in Pakistan, so now theses priuses could be maintained easily by Toyota mechanics and the customers will as well get Toyota warranty. One question is that what features will this prius include? will it have 8 air bags, push start button, alloy rims, navigation ,cruise control ,back view camera and auto parking in its basic model ( which I think will be the only one here )??! And will it have CVT transmission or regular auto transsmission?? well for these answers.we will have to wait until Toyota launches its features or the car gets launched itself. right now we just now its gonna release in July but not the date which should also come out soon ( I expect)..... so I created this thread because there was no thread like this before and also to discuss about the prius which will be launched in Pakistan.
about price , I heard that the new government will be expecting hybrid cars which are being imported , so if it is like this then it would be great because Toyota also imports the engines. I hope it would be under 20 ( for the basic model ay least )

would largely depend on the government?s
