The first half of 2018 has proved to be record setting for Mercedes-Benz. It was the best quarter in the history of the company, in terms of sales.

Between April to June, 594,528 customers received their new Mercedes-Benz (+1.9%).

Thus, Mercedes-Benz sold more vehicles than ever before in a half-year: Since the beginning of the year, 1,188,832 cars with the three-pointed star were delivered to customers all over the world. Unit sales were thus 3.9% higher than in the previous highest first half-year in 2017. In the first six months, Mercedes-Benz was the premium brand with the most new registrations in several markets, including Germany, France, Russia, Switzerland, Portugal, South Korea, Australia, the USA and Canada.

With 203,783 vehicles sold, June was the month with the second highest sales since the beginning of the year (-2.6%). Figures of last month were affected amongst other things by a fire at a US supplier. This meant a significant lower production of the SUVs for the world market at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa and sales were less than planned.

See how warped your mind is? Anybody that made money, made through one illegality or the other. Can you make it in life at all with this mindset?

Nigeria is a low income country. The continued devaluation of our currency makes an average salary earner in Nigeria, a "working poor" person in advanced economies.

Because MB is in business to make money, their target market is not places like Nigeria where people can't afford their cars, which are technologically more advanced than Toyota and other Japanese cars, thus, costs more.

Also, if you look at where MB sells a bulk of its cars, the buyers can afford the high cost of buying the cars and the cost of servicing the technologically complex MB engines, compared to Toyota which produces idiot-proof cars for mass consumption by low income earners.

So ordinarily, the smart option for a low income earner is to buy a car that cost less, and is easy to repair both in terms of replacement parts and availability of technician/mechanic know-how.

This is why Toyota vehicles are more popular in Nigeria and other third world - low income countries.

Why you no slap am?

I expected that. With their new body works and all, Mercedes seems to be the sexiest luxury brand for mid range luxury cars. Even the most common, the C300 looks like a Russian model.

I need one of this beast

Cool...I am proud to say that I was one of their customers in the first quarter
I got me a 1994 C280 Nigerian used

That shows you're just a raving lunatic who doesn't understand the concept of "choice".

It's not like you can afford a brand new Benz. Ewu.

Certainly Africa is not among the places that makes this happen.
