The funniest part about this is no price decrease when dollar goes down but then again price increases if dollar goes at par to the previous level before the decrease. Automobile mafia has pretty much gotten a free pass for everything (pretty much every mafia has gotten a free pass and that's why pti is unlikely to ever go out of power).
Plus the localised parts in these cars are pretty low value, the costly parts like engines, transmissions, etc are imported. But still the extreme price increases is senseless and doesn't even align with the true dollar value increases.
While our neighbour India has gotten almost 100pc localisation with the help of proper government regulation while we can't even make a shitty outdated 660cc engine cause it costs money to invest in engine manufacturing plants which they don't wanna do. Our automobile mafia believes in investing as little amount as possible and getting max gains, which is why production and localisation has always and will always be kept low. And then we have the fraud Javed afridi who's literally just an imported car dealer pretending to be a local car company and getting humongous benefits. And he didn't just get the Greenfield benefits for more cars than 300, he literally got away with understating the car's value to get even more benefits. Really shows how Pak gov is here only to support the rich to get even richer.
