Yes, definitely, but still in paper. When Porsche's centres are going to be opened in Karachi and Islamabad depends on the success of their Lahore centre.
Audi have also appointed a local company as their authorized sole distributors and importers for Pakistan. It is perhaps Premier Motors. It is likely that they will bring in the Volkswagen cars as well.
In addition, Renault is eyeing the Pakistani market for establishing an assembly plant here for assembling their Logan car.
Chery of China will also establish an assembly plant, work on which will commence in late 2006.
A Middle Eastern group called Coastal Group is interested in establishing an assembly plant for Mercedes-Benz cars and trucks/buses to serve the local as well as Middle Eastern markets.
Another company PTL is planning to progressively manufacture UK's black cabs in Pakistan.
