The car End of Discussion derived its name from the advert STBMcCann ran for Honda Nigeria in 2006-2007. The advert wanted to convey the fact that there was nothing more to be said once you've experienced the car. The ad copy was a big hit.

Bmw 3 series- 2001-2003 model nicknamed COJA because it was the official car of COJA games back in 2003. Abuja was flooded with these cars back then n was later auctioned off after the games..
