Honda City 1.2 CVT would do just fine in terms of sales.
Most users will feel right at home as traffic moves at a snails pace in Lahore during peak hours (ones usual commute)...
Puri Dunya 1.3 GLI/XLI chalati rahi.. kissi nay choon nahin ki..Companies market exploit karti hain.. its business. Honda will also get away with it as general public doesn't care about the torque etc...
Only car enthusiats note these things.. and even if you are one.. traffic itni hai aur opper say motor cycle walay andar ghussay aatay hain kay driving ka maza to door ki baat tension hi hoti rehti hai..
On a separate note; Manuals are always more fun to drive.. CVTs are the most boring... but that's just me..
Honda to aisay baitha hai gari chuppah kay jaisay ka Tesla Model S launch kar raha ho..
Let's see.... yeh madari ki tokri say kiya bahar aata hai
