When you talk about durability, are you talking of safety or reliability?

If it's safety, I'm inclined to agree but if it's the latter, old and new German cars are still known to cause less hassles after years of use than the Japs or Koreans[/color]

Lol, Asian cars take the lead on durability, European follow and American cars comes third.
You can always trust Asian cars to go from point A-B almost any day with minimal cost of maintenance and fewer trips to a mechanic besides, their parts don't just start falling off anyhow.
That's reliability and durability.
How many kia or hyundai have you seen on the road side due to one fault or another?
How many Kias or hyundais have you met in workshops for long periods due to one complex fault?

That my friend, is reliability and durability. Do a good research free of bias.

Seems you're good in this
Which would you recommend between a 2009 Hyundai genesis and a 2008 E350 or E320 independent on costs of maintenance but on duration of use without hassles in a country like Nigeria and ease/comfort when driving?

I'd do a Merc because its known. However, bear in mind the Genesis isn't known much in Nigeria. So tools and parts such as filters, brake pads etc for basic periodic maintenance may not be easy to get.

Do you know what compact is?
Compact means closely fitted, occupying a small volume. And compact isn't a German automobile term, its Japanese which has been adopted by the Koreans, Indians, Chinese etc.

That said, durability left the Germans, its Japanese and now going the way of the Koreans.

maybe Mr Grammarian, Durability left Germans? Hmmn i dont think so even though their standards for cars might have reduced sha. No matter how japanese have increased their durability German cars still rock.

Each car has pedigree, German cars are known to be compact and durable, the Audo has finesse,

perhaps if i can know the gear and steering system and fuel carriage, then i might be able to decide. tho have always loved Mercedes and Toyota corolla especially the Red ones.

German cars being durable? I'm not too sure about that. They are nice to drive and have a beautiful interior. However, after 4 years, expect to pay a premium for repairs.

Yeah Genesis is an E-class competitor whereas the Equus is the S-class competitor. the Kia K900 (or is it K5000) also competes with the S-class and Audi A8. Koreans have really come a long way. I hope that Nigeria can catch up to S.Korea soon under the right leadership.

Neither the Equus nor the K900 are competition of the S. At best, they may rival an E550, and that's for the Equus only.

Motortrend's Jonny Lieberman even paired the Equus with a Mulsanne. ThiS goes to speak volume.

Why are there so many Eurocentric people on Nairaland?

So from a scientific perspective what makes you say they are not "competition" for overpriced Euro stuff? Are you European? If anything, I would say those Korean masterpieces are more technologically advanced and you get far more for your money.

Why is it that so many Nigerians are white-washed.

When the latest Mercedes S600 Maybach was released, Jonny Leiberman of Motor trend pitted it against the Bentley Mulsanne and Rolls royce. Guess what Rolls royce referred to their rival?

A Rolls Royce phantom competes with only luxury private jets.

Thus, I can infer authoritatively that Rolls Royce is the ultimate symbol of success.

Lomomike knows about cars, it's you who doesn't know about cars.

Price doesn't make the best car in the world the best.

I can put the Tesla Model S here and tell you that it's more technologically advanced than any of the cars you linked.
