5M for S class. Lol. No wonder you think benz is hyped. When you finally develop taste for quality, you'll see that what you typed is not just it.
The guy deh talk where im level deh. A 2016 S550 is sold for 60-50k dollars. A 2020 S560 is sold for 115k dollars. A friend of mine bought a 2021 RX 350 for about 60k dollars earlier this month. My guy just deh reason S class of 2005-2006 grin

Sometimes ago, a nairalander compared the sudden madness for Benz cars to the madness Nigerians had for blackberry between 2007 and 2013. He was bashed , insulted and bruised. He was right afterall, it was the Yahoo boys and street musicians that made Benz so popular. It was so bad a particular nairalander was even comparing a Benz model to the rolls Royce wriath.

There was a time Range Rover was the reigning thing, Benz took over and Toyota venza came into the limelight briefly. Now it's Lexus. Which will be next?

Lexus is definitely a good product but claiming that is taking over from Benz is delusional. Benz is a car that is in its own class and cannot be rival by any product

As in eeh, Most people hyping Benz no even know about VW, how can you say you know anything about cars and yet you no sabi VW?
Benz is overrated in Nigeria.
Luxury no be them carry first,
Maintenance no be them carry first,
Reliability no be them carry first,
So why the hype?

Its only in Nigeria people are so crazy about benz!! Well i guess its cos we are narrow minded people in taste, experiences, and exposure.
There are so many fantastic American, Italian, German and Japanese cars so whats all the fuss about Bmw, Toyota, Lexus, Range Rover, Benz are all great cars.
If u drive a Cadillac u will know luxury varies in categories.
How many Benz SUVs can do what a Land rover, Or a Ford, or Toyota can do off road??
Lexus is a fantastic luxury vehicle and equally as good as a benz. Its all about the preference of the user/driver.
Pls dont get me wrong Benz is a fantastic car but, there are so many other great cars and Lexus is equally as good too!!

Oga this is where you are making the mistake ... Benz doesn't reign, it has never reigned and it's not for everyone. Benz is for a category of people. It's a niche car... It doesn't reign .. it has always been there for over 60yrs

Lexus, I mean rebadged toyota can reign.... It's understandable

What lexus would you choose over any of these luxuries?

no be luxury be the issue.
most are going for cost factor and it stands till next tomorrow.
we aint like dubai where almost everyone is a millionaire in dollars, so what we go for are the ones we can afford immediately.

if you are going for luxury then bentley and rolls royce, aston martin and maserati are all over the market, can you afford the bumper and fender

Moreover most of these foreign manufacturers know alot of Nigerians love luxury but can't afford it. They know Nigerians love premium luxury but they don't have the money so what they do is give you something a little close to luxury. That's the case with Benz, it's an economy class luxury.

So are you saying that Mercedes is building their models with Nigerians in mind? Rubbish‼️ 90% of the cars you see in Nigeria were not bought brand new but after use. How then is Mercedes benefitting from the used(tokunbo) cars we are dying for in Nigeria?

How?[/quote) A middle class family can easily afford a Lexus sedan car which affords more luxury dan a Toyota but is cheap...it is not as luxurious as a Benz which is out of reach for a middle class family because it is very expensive... But if u want to go for a car dat will upgrade ur status u go for a Benz and don't get me started on d engine power and d aesthetics of a benz ..u knw everything dat makes a Benz a Benz ask Lewis Hamilton d formula one driver

@ acri honestly instill don't know what's luxury about Benz. Maybe you don't know the meaning of luxury. That's how one was comparing Benz to Audi lol as if Audi na Benz mate.

Audi and Benz are brothers from same mothers just that Benz is the elder bro but both are similarly unique
