All I can say is good job, by the saudis.

A step in the right direction economically. But to move into the export market, considering high international oil prices, the vehicles will need to be fuel effeicient and not petrol guzzlers.
I think the indians have done well in this field and will also see the fruits of this in the future. Some of their vehicles are not bad at all. Though one thing they did well was to buy out proven and known companies like range rover, which in effect would be a great learning kerb and tech boost for them.
The saudis do have money, hence taking over a company like range rover may have been a good strategy for a long term automobile industry development. They should go for joint venture developments, with the japs or germans.

The KSU Gazal-1 is based on the long-wheeled Mercedes-Benz G 500 AMG and was designed by Studiotorino. The model is manufactured in a production of 20,000 units annually. Most of the automotive parts are produced by Magna Steyr in Austria. The assembly of the vehicle is made at the assembly plant of MAN Truck & Bus in Jeddah.

Manufacturer Magna Steyr & KSU

Looks like a hybrid baby of GMC and jeep... lol

But looks cool..

i think the Gazal 1 design is inspired by ever popular Toyota FJ cruiser-

mmm...Gazal looks a bit too flashy for me

But the Aseelah looks good. Bears some resemblance to the Proton Persona though...

This car was designed by students who slaved over it for years. They have manually made parts by their own hands and even got 13 patents for it. The Austrian company was contacted to provide designing equipment they did not "design" it themselves. The students who put their hearts and souls into it will probably spit in your face if they read your comment.

Then again I am probably expecting too much out of an Iranian to shoe some respect.

The students who made Aseelah were sent to learn car manufacturing in Malaysia.

Explains the striking similarity.

nice spelling and even a nicer story
this car was designed in Studioturino and Magna Steyr is manufacturing it (almost all the parts are being manufactured in Austria). You guys don't even have Saudi workers in the assembly plant.

The problem with anything made in Saudi is that it won't actually be made by Saudis, it will be made by Indians and Pakistanis.
All the gulf countries need to stop subsidizing its people and have a normal society with a middle class that has to earn its money, and not just get money from the government.

All the best and hopefully they can become a high tech society like Germany and Japan.

A lot of people share your thoughts lol. If it was a foreign made car I wouldn't even think about buying it but this is the first of many Inshallah.

We have about 20 technical colleges with thousands listed on them. Anyone who does not score a good grade goes to study there these colleges train students on factory working. we have many many graduates of these schools but not enough factories to work them in.

The main problem why Pakistanis and Indians working in such places is because they charge less than Saudis since their countries are cheaper while here they want to open a house and a thousand or a thousand 500 riyal pay simply won't cut it so companies do not hire Saudis AT ALL because they rather pay someone who will get the same job done for less.
