ba7man: That's not my point. Either they are bigger or smaller than Innoson, they are eyeing the Nigerian Market.

In the next 5yrs, we'll witnes an influx of small, affordable cars from established brands in this country. Is innoson prepared for this??

Every car company is launching smaller, cheaper, more fuel efficient models by the day, all in their preparation to enter the African "city" car market.

I just hope Innoson is putting all this into consideration. Even the Chinese brands are already in mergers with these established brands to have access to their technology.

That is why I refused to go to any university in Nigeria. it is this educational system that produce people that think with their anus. you did not contribute a farthing to innoson did you? so why are you bitter? or are you jealous or what? anyway, lès jaloux vont maigrir

rickkid: If you were buying 2nd hand before, this wont change anything - you'll still buy 2nd hand. Difference is they will be Naija used. Except you sign up with the new car financing scheme to pay over 48 months, this stuff isn't targetted at you anyway. I dont know where you people get this idea that things just fall into your lap like magic. How much did you think they would cost before? Why dont you go and assemble your own car which you can sell for N150,000 Buy One Get One Free? Innoson is a business, not a charity. Let me also stress, for the avoidance of doubt that there is a huge number of people who have ALREADY placed orders and have been doing since last year. Nobody cares what the internet geniuses on Nairaland think in the real world. With or without you, Innoson will become a national symbol. With or without you, Nigeria will make progress. Your concentrated bad-belle is a tiny, irrelevant opinion in a target market of over 500 million sub Saharan Africans. Nobody said you should buy, in fact some of us are praying for spaces to open in the order list so we can get ours. You are tiny. You are pointless. You are irrelevant. You are nothing.

Bebetter:

Bro, you are really taking this thing personal oh, is your FATHER the owner of innosan motors? abi are you their marketing manager? your stupidity is surely going to get a promotion! don't be an id.iot okay, innosan's so called BRAND NEW CAR cannot be compared to a honda, toyota, bmw, ford, chevy or likes... innosan here is the NOBODY! i'll rather spend my money on a kia or hyundai that can be trusted. Wait let me ask you can innosan motors export their nonsense product to the US or UK market? NEVER! who go buy am. You now want to shove your substandard products to us and expect Nigerians to just accept it like that. It is people like you that think that the average nigerian is un-intelligent, an A-grade toks camry or accord will serve durably, with a longer life span than your new innosan motor. What about maintenance? how available are the parts? what is the resale value after a year or two? ZERO! we've seen the likes of the plastic cars on our road swell like an old shoe and fall apart within a short period.

Who is deceiving who? How can you claim that innosan is the messiah when they have no rival? use your common sense! when MTN first came, they where selling SIM cards for close to 30k! can you imagine... and the service was terrible, now sim cards sell for close to nothing! are you saying that the conditions now are better than they where then or that MTN did not have the resources to sell it low... IT IS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO COMPETITION and they knew there was no other choice. when three or four other companies have come into local assembly or manufacturing of cars then come and talk to me. innosan should be able to sell A CAR for 1million or less at least if they are truly manufacturing for the nigerian market then we'll know you are giving us real value. and before you open your mouth to reply, i push a 2012 lexus RX350 for 3.5mill toks, go and bring your brand new 3.5mill innosan car lets compare value!

ba7man: It seems you must be a staff of Innoson with how these criticisms are getting to you.

Anyways, global car companies are already planning on cars introducing cut price city cars. Into the African market eg Tata, Suzuki , merc, Audi, Seat, Vw, etc.

I hope Innoson's offer is adequate to withstand the upcoming onslaught. If you have access to their board, tell them to study cars like the VW up!

eaglechild:
Hope you are not talking about those killer econo boxes like suzuki alto and tata nano, cause Innoson is way way better.

Which merc or Audi is cut price?
Pls those are luxury brands that have a niche and do not compromise.

You obviously know nothing about cars.

ba7man: Have you heard of the Smart (owned by Merc)?? Have you heard of the Audi A1??


These cars are priced at low costs you'd never thought you'd ever find their products.

Check lower, you'll find the VW up!, Skoda citi-go, seat Mii. All these cars were prepred for their African onslaught.

Just wait until Hyundai starts manufacturing the i-10 in Nigeria.

I hope Innoson will keep up.

eaglechild:
Audi A1 is not an economy car

Smart is not a merc, it is just like calling a Nissan is an infiniti or a Honda an Acura, that is not very smart, pun intended.
Besides have you ever seen a smart fourtwo, a keke will run it over. The fourfour is not cheap.

All the cars you mentioned are still above 1.5million.

Its already happening. Instead of all these Nissan Almeras I'm seeing all over, why not Innoson??

eaglechild:

lol!

ALL these corolla, civic etc you are seeing.

Must everyone buy Innoson? (Even before they launch there brand)
Why are you so worried when they cannot even remotely meet up with their orders.

Besides how much do you think an almera costs - 2.55m to 2.9 for the base manual and 3.2 for the auto tranny.
That is 2 IVM fox auto tranny.

I thought i told you to stop talking about cars that you know nothing about

ba7man: So why is the cheaper, better loaded car not selling??

The moment Innoson gets it right, it will flood Nigerian streets without Govt patronage.

ba7man: keep talking without thinking.

Until these other companies squeeze Innoson out of its supposed home market.

Wekre talking of mental contribution, you're talkin money.

The average person sees a Kia picanto! And an Innoson budget car at the same price......gueSs the car they'll choose......except for curious cases like you.

Nigerian product or not, I see quality, I'll pay for it...Go read up on Hyundai/Kia's investment and innovation drive that got them to where they are today.


You can't even reason that out with your "foreign" education.

Ellidude: Nice comment.

cocoduck:
total rubbish, the question remains, did you contribute a farthing to the company? If yes then you have a point, if no, then it is none of your business, whether he fails or succeeds depends on him and his crew not some invisible non entity that hides behind his phone a claim a to be a business man. Fyi, he has been in the NigerIan automotive business from his boyhood up till now, so if I want to go into the same business I will do well to take a clue or 2 from him, not an educated illiterate like you. BTW should they average Nigerian you are talking about? I had to ask because maybe you are that average Nigerian. I have not been th o any university but I know much more than you do. HOMO STUPIDUS

rickkid: Nobody is 'giving' you anything. You wouldn't be able to afford it anyway. Wait till somebody has used it like slippers for 5 years, then go and beg them. Then they might 'give' you.

Omo Yoruba...the problem with Nigeria. They cannot and have never invented nor contributed anything meaningful to this contraption called Nigeria. But are always the first to open their dirty stinking mouth. Very hateful and jealous minded people...that's why they are not progressing or inventing anything.

Innoson motors has been operable for commercial and private use in Nigeriafor more than 5 yrs. Not one safety issue has been reported by SON or by actual users. So go and die in hate

Why is it that whenever Innoson vehicle is mentioned many people discuss it emotionally in form of tribal loyality and solidarity and are quick to turn it it to a 'We Vs them' arguments,lambasting other Nigerians that criticize Innoson, calling them names, accusing them of jeleousy/Hatred?
It is high time this people know that real business have separate identity from their proprietors and a real business organization has NO TRIBE
How many times have you seen Hausa-Fulani guys bragging that they own Dangote Cement/ Flour or Yoruba guys shouting that they own Globacom or Wema bank?[/s]
