Suzuki Pakistan has re-launched its 30-year-old Suzuki Bolan with an amazing and highly innovative update — an air-conditioner — and Pakistani netizens are as amazed as you, dear reader.

In an age of electric cars and keyless drives, Suzuki's 'update' hasn't impressed anyone, nor has the asking price — a whopping Rs1.3 million, according to Developing Pakistan. On the official Suzuki website, the price of the Bolan is almost Rs1.2 million, however, there is no mention of an air-conditioner in the model online.

Other than the rather bulky AC knobs, the Bolan looks exactly as it did 30 years ago, when it used to ferry children to school in the morning and adults back home after work in the evening.

"And the wait is finally over as Suzuki Bolan with AC is here. Launched by Pakistan Suzuki with a price tag of Rs.1,265,000," Developing Pakistan wrote in a tweet.

There were a lot of people as amazed with the innovative upgrades as you are. They had a lot to say about the AC knobs too.

This user jokingly asked for the rate of development to slow down so that we don't overtake the US and China.

Maybe time travel is real.

There were washing machine jokes, of course.

Lots of washing machine jokes.

And a whole lot of sarcasm.

Users said Japanese car shows feature these 'vintage' vans. Who knew we've been riding in historical automobiles every day?

One user noted that this model would never fly in Europe.

But another user had a great suggestion for an additional feature.

There were some grumpy people online.

And a lot of predictions about the sales.

One user pointed out that had Pakistan established its own automobile industry, we could've had more affordable vehicles.

Because this van is the same thing we've been riding in for decades.

We aren't sure about you, but we aren't going to be rushing to buy a Bolan for Rs1.2 million just because it has an AC and neither will these Twitter users. What do you guys think about the new 'upgrade'?
