Bro while I must say toyota have done quite a good job with the Land cruiser but you'd also agree with me, it wasn't till 2012/13 Toyota started doing real work on their cars in terms of interior and aesthetics. And when I meant cheap I was referring to their more base models (the Camry, corolla etc)

Also about the MSRP of the Camry, accord and C class being same, in all honesty you have to agree with me the C class out performs them all.

A little question for you... If you were to choose between the 2014/15 Camry, accord or C350, which would you choose? grin
bullocks the Camry and accord out sells the best selling Mercedes for a reason. now a days the gap in the wow factors in Benz has been closed in by mid class sedans. When last did we see real genuine wood in a Benz C class?

I'd still say it, you buy Benz cos of name and cos of passion not cos of reasonable logical rational thinking.


I got stuffs to do, this is my last debate here.

I'll say this and I'll move on.

Only a complete fool will compare an Audi/BMW/Mercedes Benz to Honda/Nissan/Toyota.

When HNT wanted to take on ABM they had to go back to the drawing board and create new luxury brands Acura/Infiniti/Lexus.

The day I respected Mercedes Benz was when I was taking apart one of my 190e (I had both a 2.3 and 2.6 model) and I saw what they did for sound insulation in the foot wells. The insulation pad under the front floor mats was at least 2 inches thick. I broke nothing less than 4 drill bits to poke a hole in the firewall.

Friends, if they took that much effort into a base model pre C class, imagine what they would have done on the E and S class or on other more intricate parts of the vehicles.

I love Japanese vehicles and have passed Honday Odyssey, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX, many Toyota MR2s through the fleet but none of them can touch even my ordinary BMW e35.

I encourage you guys to cycle through vehicles so you can experience different marques.

forget it which Camry are you talking about? Camry 2.7 muscle 2009 model v6 is faster and more durable, yes Benz are cool but it doesn't pick fast when accelerated until it has transmitted gear twice because it is heavier and uses back axle compared to the camry front wheel drive always red hot in cruising, light weight less fuel consumption. Its a personal choice though.

Which particular Benz are you talking about my friend grin is it the W202 if it is then you are right about the not so fast picking but when it's on motion, your 2009 Camry would be collecting dust behind Shebi u know that one sha cool
But if you are trying to bring the 2009 Camry and C class at par with each other, then bros don't commit that sin... Have you ever driven a C300 4matic? Lol

All these airbags... that is how somebody will choke when they have an accident because they are surrounded by air bags on every side tongue

lol but won't you love to fall in an airfilled balloon during a crash rather than a hard sharp metal?

once airbag deploys and safely cushion the crash impact, they deflate in less than 30 seconds cheesy

sorry I don't pray we ever experience a crash. smiley

Bro.. not when you are already in motion... the overdrive in the C180 is a killer!.. the interesting thing is that the C180 got a sport mode...you can switch between sport and normal... When you ride on the sport mode even at 160km/per hour you car keeps accelerating on overdrive when you push on the throttle you watch you speedometer hitting 180km... and counting... Brother! that car is close to complete engineering.

Bro... it seems ur in the US. just wondering why don’t they drive the Toyota Land Cruiser. And why is the Mercedes Benz G wagon not common in Texas, Houston specifically unlike Nigeria where it’s like one of they most common SUV. The rate at which they drive Benz here ehn!! But G wagon is not common? I don’t think it’s a price issue

Not entirely correct bro..

The variance of the C class benz are so divers, ranging from continent to continent and regions to regions,

The specs are not the same even though they carry the badge of C180, C200, C220, C240, C270 (Mainly Europe) & C230, C280 (US)

There are some specs that have their air flow incorporated into the throttle body .
SO WHICH OF THE MODELS YOU MENTIONED DOES NOT HAVE THE AIRFLOW METER?

It's simple.

Nigerians are into packaging. Americans are not.

On one of my trips last year, between Murtala Airport and my house in Ibadan, I saw three Rolls Royce. I live in Los Angeles and I did not see a Rolls Royce on the street all of last year and I haven't seen one this year.

no.


for ball joint issue, every car that has ball joints can fail when these ball joint are worn out and not replaced or if they're driven consistently thru very terribly rough terrain. the accord ball joint issue is caused by negligence on the part of owner, dishonesty on the part of the seller of the part and also bad work practice on the part of the mechanic.

Agreed, I have driven the s450 and s550 4matic jeep really they are machines, but my point is Benz are heavier yes with good tyre balancing but the Toyota is light and makes you feel like doing Nothing, when you drive these Benz you're looking serious because the way the gear transmits seems as if the car is about to fly of ground with a pu-pu-pu-rrrr bass-sound while Toyota would do the same thing without you hearing a sound, i prefer any Camry 2009 Avalon That balanced minimal sound fuel consumption with comfort.... Balance is the keyword here

OK sir. But why are Honda cars herein Nigeria plagued with such terrible problem. I don't stay abroad but me think this same issue is not rampart in US (I may be wrong). But Honda's own is just too common.
The reason why I asked is because I heard the Civic is somehow exempted from this ball joint ish.Tnx.

Bros maybe Na very old or dying S450 or S550 you drive oo grin grin and for the records they are both sedans. The S class trim is a sedan not SUV.
The cars are heavy reason why they are mostly built with the 4matic drive train. How many Benz have you heard about that just sommersaulted during motion? I'm just trying to tell you where Toyota's technology ends, Benz throws light on more

When you're going through a divorce here in the US and you're a Man and you're unlucky enough to be divorcing a white woman in Texas, then it's best that you're perceived as a sad wounded bird. That they've finished you completely and you have no more hope so they can leave some meat on your bone.

I understand, Bro. I know women clean guys out in divorce cases with the support of the Law in America. What you just said reminds me of Mike Tyson's rape case. I read " he came across as a rude, arrogant prick who felt no one could refuse him"

His attitude antagonized the jury. If i am ever in those shoes, would shed crocodile tears and lie through my teeth about my undying love.

Really surprising from a don. I put up a post the 3 pointed star W202 and ur comparism has been flawed so far. Compare the 1997 C class with a 1997 Honda or Toyota, then tell us which outlived it's time, thats how to make a healthy comparison.
