Eurepeon cars are good and VWs are tough vehicles. My dad had a beetle in the late 70s and did a great job for 10+ years.

There is no single german automplant in canada all german products comes from Germany directly .German policy is simple made in germany and export it .

Best thing is for pakistan to buy cars Made in India. We can in turn outsource manufacturing of some parts to Pakistan.

How so?

Pakistan has plenty of advantages:

1. Land is much much much cheaper
2. Labour is marginally cheaper
3. Laws are far more relaxed - India has draconian socialist labour laws that hinder manufacturing
4. Pakistan ranks much higher in Ease - Of- Doing Business Rankings - that means Pakistan has a better/more conducive climate to business than India.


If Pakistan could play its card right it could become a manufacturing center for India.

A lot of you Indians play foolish here and this is reflected in your post. We expect something better than this stupidity. If you cant do better, then shutting up is a better option.

Surprised they are not there already

List of Volkswagen Group factories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Volkswagen is pretty much everywhere and they are very successful.

However Volkswagen has had a bit of a bad rep in the USA due to some crappy quality cars in the 1990's. They haven't been able to break into the top 20 model sales since.

"The VW brand was fourth from the bottom in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study."

In Pakistan auto industry, auto makers don't want any more car makers because it will break their monopoly of 03 car makers who don't even fully manufacture the care locally which is what law said that all know down kits assembly should be turned into fully manufacturing in 02 years.

Those 03 car makers not let work other like KIA, Hundai etc. they are very powerful here in elite circles.

Bhai. Why do you want to give business to our enemy.

Just pointing out their competitive strengths buddy.

Same way, India's competitive strength is in Services exports.
Very high population with very very high number of graduates in all fields coupled with english speakers numbering in hundreds of millions! A good higher education standard overall.

That said, India could become competitive in manufacturing as well if Laws were fixed:
1. Land Acquisition Law
2. GST
3. Labour law reforms

If these 3 laws are fixed, we might just get better than a lot of our competitors. For now, what keeps manufacturing in India is not competitiveness, its just the size of the market which necessitates manufacturing.
