'''Lazistan''' (''Lazona'' - ლაზონა in [[Laz language|Laz]], ლაზეთი - ''lazeti'' or ჭანეთი - ''č’aneti'' in [[Georgian language|Georgian]]) was the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] administrative name for the [[sanjak]] (under [[vilayet]] of [[Trabzon]]) comprising the [[Laz people|Laz]] or ''[[Laz language|Lazuri]]''-speaking population on the southeastern shore of the [[Black Sea]]. However, its boundaries did not coincide with the Laz-speaking area. It covered the land of contemporary [[Rize Province]] and the littoral of contemporary [[Artvin Province]]. |

The Suzuki Mehran is a small car manufactured and marketed by Suzuki in Pakistan. It is generally a rebadged first generation Suzuki Alto.
Unrivaled in its class, Mehran is Pakistan’s best selling car to this day despite its oudated design. Other cars such as the indegenously designed Adam Revo that tried to rival the Mehran ended up biting the dust.[1].
More smart features like head turning lamp, matching front grill and a two spoke steering wheel have been added on in recent years to give it a tidy look. By average Pakistani standards, Mehran is considered the undisputed leader in respect to peak performance, fuel efficiency, comfort and safety.
