Mercedes Benz, The Best Or Nothing.




How is Mercedes Benz the best automobile, when they are just considering phasing out the V6 and V8 in favour of the I6 and I8, which BMW has been building for years.


Mercedes Benz should beg the real automobile builders, BMW to school them in the art and science of building I6 and I8 engines.


BMW all the way.....

I have seen a mercedes benz (E550 not sure if its an AMG) outrun a porsche panamera live in abj i saw it with my koro koro eyes they were racing and boy oh boy those guys were on top speed (maybe like 200km/h or more) cos they overtook me.
The Porsche was trying so hard to catch but for as long as i could see,it didnt.

Benz is a beast but there are still bettee cars than a benz.

It's like integrated circuit in electronic, no more can you replace engine in inline-6, if the engine goes bad, you repair or replace the whole car

were you sleeping when Mercedes has won F1 back to back and back to back again ? And who knows Bentley with speed? Car's luxurious ok, but Mercedes still trumps it in ride quality and smoothness as it does all the cars you mentioned above.

Engine length would be a problem. Imagine a roadster with an extra long hood / bonnet.

Interesting discussion. Benz has class and all that but I still prefer american cars; chargers and challengers, any day. There's nothing like the sound of a Hemi v8 engine, and I'm not talking about the speed (that pushes you into the seat) then puts a huge smile on your face.

Only illitrates regurgitate this age-long tripe. Benz is a good solid build - no doubt, but if you've ever driven a Bmw or Audi, I swear, you will never type or repeat such trash again. No offense meant by the way.

I've driven all 3and none of the other two combines, luxury, performance and aesthetics like Benz. Benz knows how to find a balance in between all that. Audi is to bland on aesthetic and Interior, only selling point right now is their Quatro, BMW mostly is on the performance side and forget consumers sometimes wanna feel cocooned, too low profile for Naija roads. I see they started changing that their boring yellow backlight.

What you failed to consider is that most auto makers try to satisfy consumers with some basic criteria on a scale of preference ish. For a Benz, luxury first. For a BMW, driving dynamics first.

And this scale.of.preference trickles down into all the products they make. So auto heads will tell you anytime anyday that you buy a Merc for the luxury and a BMW for its.driving thrill.

That's one of the reasons why BMW will always be second to Benz in luxury and that's also why AMGs will always be second to M series in driving dynamics and handling.

So when they say you ride a Merc and drive a BMW, that's what they essentially mean. It's just the way it is bro
