welcome to drivetime...

some really cool photos from pakistan there sultan... i see that most of the cars are imported from england... nice to see so many european cars...

why's the Acura TL named Honda Accord?

the Acura TL is basically a rebadged Euro spec Honda Accord... Acura's are just upmarket version of Honda's... similar to Lexus and Toyota...

yeah know about the whole upmarket thing. but what do they name the accords then?

gr8 pics dude.

Thanks for the positive comments, and welcoming guys! I have a few bangladeshi friends too, and they are great people!

Yes I'm from Pakistan, from Lahore to be specific, born in Karachi.

There are Ferrari's in Pakistan, but not many, very few. Altho, you might see some low end cars like corolla, camry, etc. in the hands of many people now, even the villagers, due to the Car financing schemes launched by banks.

About exotic cars, BMW's manufacturing plant is coming up near Lahore, and Mercedes is investing in a $1bn Benz plant in Sialkot, so those babies will be made locally, therefore, the price of the vehicle wouldn't be as high, and a lot of locals would be able to buy it.

I'll try and bring more pictures from Pakistan, so stay tuned guys!

P.S This is an excellent site, good to be here!

I've heard there is no 'Acura' in Europe, its called Honda Accord there. So the same thing with the South Asian region too, I guess.

hey! the Acura u r talking abt in the pic is not a TL. its the TSX. the TSX is basically the european version Accord. I think the TSX is also called Accord in Japan. and the Honda Accord in USA r called Honda Inspire over there. The Acura RL is known as Honda Legend. and the last time I checked the Japanese website of Honda.....they didn't have any model similar to the TL in Japan. So i guess the TL aren't made for Asia and Europe. It's only for USA.

previously Accords over usa used to be Accords over asia and europe. and TL over usa used to be Inspire over asia and europe. now they manufactured the TSX and named it Accord in asia and europe. and the Accord became Inspire over there. The TL is out from the asian/european market i guess.
