[zuhaibafzal]

Push Start, Smart entry, Traction Control, Auto Climate control is there in Ativ 1.5

[zuhaibafzal]

It is a different segment car and nothing can be too much for any model when compared to features available in same model abroad and prices being charged locally. Its a shame it lacks cruise control even in top trim.

Toyota indus will probably bring out the 'TRD' version of grande soon after the pandemic ends (In Shaa Allah) and its a far fetched guess but i hope they'll change the transmission of Altis 1.6 from 4 speed to CVT. Because evidently Toyota has induced Cannibalism as in Yaris can potentially eat/tank the sales of its own Corolla lineup. So these changes can be expected in the late 2020. As far as 12 gen is concerned, nope brothers its not coming anytime before late 2021 or early 2022. Baqi dekhte hain Allah behtar karey. Lets pray ye Corona se jaan chutey phir corolla ka bhi kuch karlenge

The IMF “...advised appropriate taxation for petroleum products, vehicles, beverages and tobacco sector..”

“She said Pakistan needed to move the way with taxation in line with good taxation principles which sometimes required increasing the tax base and sometimes tax rates.”

Once again IMF advising rationalising taxes which means focusing on increasing ‘tax base’ rather than ‘tax rate’.
In the case of imported vehicles, government can increase its tax base (and total revenue) significantly by lowering duties and taxes not to mention benefitting consumers and effectively ‘regulating’ the local producers by giving them competition.

Once again to reiterate we have INSANE duties and tax rates on imported cars not seen anywhere else in the world.

[usman19854]

the argument against tax rate actually applies to local industry produce too tbh, the increased taxes and duties has just reduced sales thereby decreasing the overall tax revenue from the sector.

The govt's case "for tax rate" in this case however was that they actually wanted to "decrease sales" in order to control the burden on forex reserves caused by the import of kits by local assemblers.

[hussain182]

Well you cant even make a donkey cart without imported materials.
Governments the world over have long ago stopped the useless pursuit of trying to cut imports especially below a certain necessary threshold required for a healthy economy to function and instead focus on increasing exports (which many times requires you to allows imports in first place. Value addition is the name of the game). While we are fixated on some 19th century econ textbook concepts like ‘autarky’.

Also all modern economies (including all our neighbors) have given up on ‘import substitution’ policies and moved on to specialization. In simple words, stop trying to make everything locally, make what you are good at (and have a natural advantage at) export that, import the rest.

t
Assalamualikum, so are we getting this shape (One Attached) or the US Spec.

[fazalwahab11375]

Pakistan get what you see in Thailand as far as shape.. Options and features is the other story and not always attractive.

[zuhaibafzal]

Yes, we’ll get the same shape.

Wanted to clarify some important aspects regarding 12th generation Corolla
1. There are two main variants Sporty and Prestige
2. Pak will likely get Prestige model whereas most of pics shared in this thread are of Sporty variant which is NOT coming to Pak
3. Likely date of launch as per my guess is Sep 2021 to be the earliest due to Corona Virus complications.

This is another model. In US this is lower trim of corolla and also a hybrid version. In Australia its regular corolla along with hybrid version. In China its Sporty version and in Japan it's launched as hybrid version.
