FYI, the auto companies in Pak are making a killing, when it comes to profits and like u , I too thought that India being a 10 times bigger economy has the advantage of economies of scales..etc..but there's a catch here.
BUT, my perception changed wen i made friends in the Pak Auto industry. the Pak Auto industry is like a mafia and have a lotta profit margin.
I know vendors who until 3 years ago owned a civic exi and now prouldy roam about in LX 470s and the likes !
This whole "Own" was supported by the companies themselves so that everybody in the auto sector would benefit @ the expense of the consumer.
So, it's not that we cant have a 2ltr lancer for 9 lacs, caus if they do, the auto companies would get a lower profit.
