German Vs Japanese Automobiles. by mammanbawa: 7:23pm On Nov 20, 2017 |
Hey automobile enthusiasts. I noticed some kinda brouhaha between Japanese automobiles and German automobiles. Let's educate each other by arguing on which one is the best. Real facts should be in place of personal interests please. Nurey Lomomike Gazzuzz Diportivo Themodernman Etc

Over the years, German autos have the edge when it comes to build quality, handling and durability. You can see 80s and 90s mercedes and bmws being used as daily drivers. You only see an old jap mobile rusting away with dirt. Though some jap mobiles are really wonderful (Nissan gtr as an example. There are some models that are comparable in some pedigrees but overall, the Germans have it! 12 Likes 1 Share |

I can't bet my balls this thread will make front page Op, you have already answered your own question and I can tell you, you are biased. 95% of farm vehicles are Japanese let me name a few 1. 1972 Datsun kingcabs still rocking our offroad 2. 1968 Datsun bluebird wagon 3. 1980 Nissan urvan/homy 4. Toyota townace 1972 5. Honda Accord 1976 straight down still on road 6. Honda civic too 1980s 7. 1992 Lexus LS400 leather intact and beautiful 8. 1990s acura/Honda Legend, the legend never dies No be here person wan sell tokunbo 1992 ES200 1.2million, abeg Japanese vehicles are a force to reckon with. Not to talk of American rides like the Ford bronco, cardillac, chevys etc. 14 Likes |

Used for charcoal to small factories I saw both Saturday and Sunday because I went to farm. All the above vehicles are in perfect working condition, the Toyota townace is all around you, the Nissan homy can be seen at oshodi, the legend can be seen around, the Honda civic and Accord can easily be spotted in the north, 1 Like |

nurey: How many w124s do you see on a daily basis. Not to talk of the everlasting 911 tipper truck, a handful of Audi 80s can be seen around. Numerous classic bmws still rock our roads. If you drive a w203 2000 model, you're considered a big boy. Truth be told, I see no classic toyota (that's if it does exist) 6 Likes |

mammanbawa: Ok for the w124, we will take the Toyota camry XV20 and Toyota carina II, they are same year and this cars are still available on road. For the tipper 911 unfortunately the Japanese aren't truck inclined but I will wager it against the Bedford TK and JK which are by far older than it and still in existence. For the JK its popularly know as agbeigi lodo its way common as it is used to carry sand all around Lagos, for the TK, it is popular too but can't be noticed, it is plenty in the LASG water corporation Infront of Ikoyi club those are 1930s vehicles still doing their thing, 911 is almost extinct except for the fire service owns. There are Japanese cars that can be classified as classics, we just overlook them, the Datsun 120Y those taxis in abeokuta, Toyota celica T160, Mitsubishi GT3000, Toyota crown/Cressida, Mazda miata 1 Like |

Re: German Vs Japanese Automobiles. by mammanbawa: 6:23am On Nov 21, 2017 |
tahoe: Why people complain mostly about mpg is this, most Japanese cars you see around have i4 power plants while most German cars you see have either i6/v6 engines to move with. On the highway, 6 cylinder engines have wonderful fuel economy. Before the massive use of turbochargers on i4s, competing with a v6 is something for willing to lose/die drivers. 2 Likes |

The 90s was the golden era of vehicle production, a lot of money vehicle makers made durable and quality vehicles, german was german , jap was jap. Post Millienium, the trend changed vehicle production was outsourced and 3rd partied to countries like china, india and taiwan. It gave us cheaper cars at the cost of poor build quality. Today other than the brand mark, there is no difference between a german, japanese , american , chinese and korean car as they built by the same entity. 7 Likes |
