The Citroën DS (shown below) was very popular in Nigeria in the 1970s. The sedan, the coupe and the convertible were very popular. Nigerians were crazy about its hydropneumatic suspension system which enabled you to raise and lower the car. The headlights could also swivel

What of Volkswagen (pronounced Folksvagin)?
Volks(folks) meaning ''the people or just 'people'

Wagen(wagon) meaning car

Volkswagen = the people's car

Your pronunciation for the word is common

What about keke na pepe?
And Raleigh BICYCLE nko? Mobylette, Vespa, kabu-kabu, Bole-kaja nko?
What about Morris Minor and Bentley, Landrover, Toyota, Honda & Isuzu. Also add BEDFORD lorry. Abi, why not?

Seriously, how did the originator of this thread forget to include Mercedes among those famous auto brands?
What about Lambo and Porsche? And what about Rolls Royce, Ferrari and Bugatti?
The original founders of Mercedes were Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz in 1926 in Stuttgart, Germany. And the company was named after both of them as Daimler-Benz.

This reminds me of something that a young friend of mine posted on Facebook. His son said, "Daddy, you were born in two thousand and. . .?" (expressing his belief that everybody was born in the 21st century).
The truth is that I first read the story of the Volkswagen Beetle in 1985 or '86 in the Britannica Encyclopedia and I watched a Transtel (Cologne) documentary about it in 1990. Google was started in 1998.
