Numero uuuno: Is this also made in Nigeria
If yes,we are going places o

Cyberknight: This is one of the most thought-provoking questions asked in a long while. The only car manufacturer in Nigeria hasn't got showrooms, advertisements, promos, demos, billboards, concept cars, sponsored F1 teams or Enyimba football clubs, or anything at all to announce its presence and availability, and yet Nigerians are supposed to embrace it and start rushing its products.

daz_york: That is very poor in truth. There should be an advertising budget for an operation of this size. Anyway mods can u pleads move this to the front page so that more people can see and hopefully answer the query?
Thanks.

Siena:

Poor in truth? Man, face facts! Nigerians are generally rich in emotion, and poor in fact.

What Cyberknight posted is very true. You say his comments are poor in truth? Which part exactly? If he was wrong, and you were right, this thread wouldn't exist. Because you'd have all the information on spec, pricing, where to buy from etc. Right now, you're struggling to get even the most basic of details, because Innoson doesn't advertise, simple!

daz_york: I was agreeing with him! Haba! I meant "That" (lack of advertisement) was "in truth" very poor. Didn't you read my whole post? Jeez!
And you're the one lecturing me about being too emotional. Learn to read carefully.
Jesus wept

Cyberknight: Daz_York, I must say that Siena is absolutely right, anyone reading that statement would come to the selfsame conclusion - that you were suggesting that my statement was untrue. However since you say that was not what you meant, that's OK.

Now, before the haters jump in and sidetrack this thread, let me say that I have no intention of denigrating whatever giant step in automotive engineering that INNOSON may have taken in Nigeria. I'm simply pointing out that their marketing skills are way, way below their purported engineering prowess. Abysmal is the adjective that springs to mind. I fail to see how a reasonably serious manufacturer would confine its activities to a small town in one part of the country and have no presence of any visible kind in the nation's biggest city where a large proportion of its disposable income is concentrated. I live in Lagos, and get around a good deal (I'm not one of those who claim to spend all their time on Lekki and "the Island' without ever crossing to the mainland, for example), and I have NEVER once seen any sort of advertising or promotional material for INNOSON or its vehicles. Nor have I seen any on the local TV stations I watch. Or heard anything on the radio stations I listen to while driving. Or seen any ads in papers - I read The Punch quite frequently. Or even seen any INNOSON products on the road.

I admit it was just a couple of months ago that I found out that INNOSON even manufactures cars and buses. Through a thread on here. Up till then INNOSON was associated in my mind with the ubiquitous motorcycles with the yellow plastic plate that one sees a lot in the East. If the government intends to ram INNOSON and its products down our throats, INNOSON should at least do its own bit and let the public know what its got for sale. Even if - like the Model T - we can have any colour we want, so long as its black.

Originalsly: As a company I think they know that they need to advertise. I think they are not because they may be still struggling to fill FG orders so why advertise if they wouldn't be able to deliver? In the specs...top speed 160Kph?....that's not good.

I need to know how to purchase this SUV. The website has the specs and a few pictures on it, but no scheduled release date or any other details.

The website only provides a contact telephone number and no details about the pricing or release date.
Who is in the know here?
