He needs to drive other cars to understand their dynamics and know why they are loved by people with that knowledge he can improve on his that's my take.

maybe he should drive his own brand more so he can experience the problems real world users of his vehicles experience so he knows 1st hand how to improve his product.

In any event there is no better "caveat emptor" than when a region known for making fake parts and a country known for making fake products combine to assemble a car in a country like Nigeria that has no standards or quality control.

Absolutely rubbish. If his product is so good enough and cool enough, that would be the only brand he would drive. Elon Musk, the owner of Telsa Motors, only drives his brand, because he believes his brand is better than the luxury cars.

Let Innoson make his vehicles better than Range Rover so there would be no need to own one. For now, his actions shows that his vehicles are mediocre.

if elon musk drove any other car , the competition would roast him alive.
they are all quietly praying that there is a major eff up on the part of a tesla car that will kill buyer and regulator confidence

This is bad and not good for the brand.

It might also mean that, the CEO is protective of his life and does not have full confidence in his fleets of cars, whatever it is; it does not instill confidence in the public.

In any case, this pattern is not only restricted to innoson; Recently, Toyota had been having bad PR about their fault accelerator, and the CEO Akio Toyoda, drove an Audi to address the press and the press noted it and offcourse dig at him for driving a vehicle without accelerator's problem, which they call 'death trap' unlike other Toyota customers.

Remember he has 3 of his suv in his fleet of cars and it takes time to grow don't expect the growth to be automatic because CEOS around the world use competitors product in order to know how to outsmart them. Google just paid 1billion dollars to apple Inc recently t keep its search bar, it's what I call business the twitter user isn't a business man so won't understand why he drives other cars. The engine of ivm cars are sourced from other manufacturers so in order to create good engine management system (ems) you need to understand the dynamics of others cars that came before it.

Are you trying to restrict him to his cars only?

He and his chief engineers and CEO's need indeed to drive foreign cars to close the technological gap in durability, drive-feel, manoeuvring and comfort these foreign cars have a proven track record on



Your motive on this thread reeks of anti home grown technology.
dude chill, you are taking it personal. The CEO is wrong imagine a customer about to order for a fleet of cars seeing the CEO driving a Toyota. Do you think he will order for them again? Innoson is a young company trying to grow people are understandably skeptical, seeing the CEO driving around in foreign cars is wrong

He drives 3 of his cars, if that's not good enough , then I don't know. You can never satisfy Nigerians. The Nedu guy probably has never had any intention of driving an Innoson Product. John Chen(CEO Blackberry)s wife uses a Samsung , it's no big deal.

Re: InnosonMotors CEO Drives Foreign SUVs But Wants Us To Buy His Cars by Ayanko(m): 1:40pm On Jan 24, 2016
Driving other cars will help him to improve on his, its part of marketing, you have to consume competitors product to know its strength and weakness. Smoking Mabboro when working with Benson is to know what the customers wants.

you will note from the comments that no one there is defending the ceo, unlike over here . if anything, they are all making digs at toyota and the ceo's choosing to use a safer car

Nobody is saying it is a crime, he have the right to drive any type of car he wants to, but it is not good for his brand and does not instill confidence in his products.

The CEO of Toyota drives an Audi, but that gave him a bad press especially during the Toyota accelerator's problem, the press hit him hard and insinuated that he is driving a better car unlike the Toyota 'death traps' he is manufacturing.

http://jalopnik.com/5461311/toyota-ceo-apologizes-drives-away-in-black-audi

Most people don't have the luxury of owing many cars, they buy one and drive it exclusively until they get rid of it and buy the next car; they to instill confidence, he should drive his brands exclusively as well.

You can't walk you to me and start marketing Marlboro, and while you are telling me about all the wonderful features of Marlboro, you are puffing off smoke from the tail end of a Benson & Hedges cigaret.

You are comparing apples with oranges, Twitter is not the same as Facebook and one can't replace the other; if you had said Mark Zuckerberg uses MySpace, then you will have a point. Also, AIT and NTA are different, most times they have different lineups and programming.

You choose to see the opinion of others as daft, simply because it does not match, or tie in with yours. Your Silverbird and AIT / NTA analogies don't make sense in this context either.

The comparisons you're making are not valid. Facebook and Twitter are world-established brands. IVM is NOT even strongly established in Nigeria, it's home country. Nigeria is where IVM needs to be promoted in order to secure a decent market sector, and actually GROW.

Lastly, Nigerians need to learn to accept criticism, both constructive and non-constructive, without going all sentimental. Detroit is an automobile city, Americans are fiercely patriotic, yet they will be the first to admit American brand of automobile suck. They don't take it personal either when the rest of the world criticise them either. Today, the best selling car in North America is Japanese, with even the Korean brands snapping at the heels of the high-end American brands.

Innoson DOES need to promote his brand more, starting with himself using his products EXCLUSIVELY! IVM is way too young to rest on it's laurels, and watch the world go by.
