2.48s, actually.

And don't be obtuse, Brabus isn't affiliated with Mercedes; it's just an aftermarket tuning company. Since you want to play that game, though, here's a tuned GTR for you.


Btw, I know you like the attention. I'm just replying you because I don't really have anything else to do right now.

Liar liar open a thread maybe I'd dignify you with some schooling.... I am not interested in your cocky screenshots

I was waiting for this. You see, I didn't bring a flagship. I brought an equally-priced car.

It's a shame that the LS460 craps all over the CLS when they're priced the same.
Totally craps on it. grin
380 vs 320. I know which I'd take. cheesy

But the truth is that every car fanatic will tell you that ..never compare European brands with Asia especially Benz, BMW, Aston Martin, Royce , Fiat , citreon with any Japanese model....

Please don't do that ..in auto world it is like a blasphemy... It's like saying comodo lizard is stronger than a Gator....


Lexus is just a rebadged Toyota with more plastics while infinity is just Nissan with a different logo

lol, sure you shouldn't be interested. You want to burn out your shitty CVTs? If its so hard to make half decent transmission for you, you shouldnt be anywhere near this page. Heck! Even '19 altimas still have Cvt failures.

this is a guide on how to avoid the issues and hope misdirection will save inferior arguments

range rovers are consistently some of the most unreliable contraptions ever manufactured

oga range rover himself knows this to be true, which is why he is not directly disputing that fact

that is how he makes a living, afterall
i know you want to win an argument. But I only just stated a fact. scotty is a toyota fan boy, hates computers in vehicles and prefers the straight forward approach of the Japs esp Toyota. If you know scotty, you know this. being so skewed, his judgements should be taken with a pinch of salt. If you argue this i wont reply your comments anymore as you are obviously out of your depths.

When you pioneer a technology, there are bound to be errors, nissan has always been a forerunner in cvt tech and a winner at that.

Engine and power is evolving faster than cvts reason for some minor complaints in some lineups. Nissan has been a problem solving company during the days of datsun and nothing has changed currently as we are bigger, better and more reliable whats more we are the biggest partners to tech giants (samsung, google) expect cutting edge tech very soon and thanks for been a loyal customer, nissan cares

lol, from 2007 till present(about 13 years) is enough time for Nissan to get their cvt game right. Dont even get me started on nissan keyfobs. I am on at least on 2 nissan forums and i see complaints.
You know, i got a 2006 c230 from auctions last month and it came standard with features my 2011 altima could only dream about unless i upgraded to the SL trim,and thats an entry level merc.
In this talk, i know you know cars, but nissan/infinity should just be by the sides watching.

Cost over 10k more brand new, though. Aren't you factoring in price? Are you expecting a commuter economy car to be as loaded as a entry-level luxury car?

The Continental GT is Bentley's cheapest car, but do you think even a fully loaded C Class compares? There are levels to this, bruv. No one in their right senses compares Nissan to Mercedes in terms of luxury.

While I agree that the V36 G35/G37 were Infiniti's last great cars, the current Q60 is nothing to snort at either. I'd easily take a Q60 Red Sport over a C300.

funny, i expected a better argument from you. Comparing a 200,000 dollars plus car to a 30,000+ car. Thats exactly why a C class cannot/should not be compared to a Bentley, and a nissan/infiniti cannot be compared to a merc of same class or AMG (as in your Red sport).
My point is nissan/infinity does not fit in this comparison. If you agree, case settled.

That's the exact point I'm making. Oh, and a fully loaded C63s gets to 100k. A Continental GT is 210k. That's a 100% differential.

The 2011 Altima cost 24k brand new. Adjusting for inflation is $27,500.
The 2006 C230 cost 29,000 brand new. Adjusting for inflation is $38,000.

That's about a 40% differential. So, yes, there's a disparity in the analogy. But it's not quite invalid, especially since prices differences in the budget segment are much smaller. In fact, if I were to compare a fully loaded E Class to a Bentley Continental GT, the difference in prices would be similar to the difference between your Altima and C230.

What am I trying to say? Cars belong to different segments. You don't get to compare them without considering pricing. The difference between your 2011 Altima and 2006 C230 is as about the same as the difference between a E Class and Bentley Continental GT.

It kind of feels like you're just talking without any hands on experience. I've been in multiple W204s and they aren't really more luxurious than my G35. You'd be hard-pressed to find feature on the C300 that wasn't on a G37. Those are similarly priced cars.

Likewise, you can check out images of the Q60's interior and the interior of a C300. Same year. Both cabins are very high quality. Again, similarly priced cars.

The same renault you are dissing makes engine for benz A and B class since 2012, sells more cars than benz every year for the past 5years, has a stake in diamler AG, has more successful collaborations than benz and its reliability is not in question.

Renault has and is still manufacturing tanks, tractors, airplane engines and other heavy equipment. Respect isnt bought, it is EARNED, i hope you would be a better enlightened benz fan boy

Nairaland is a very funny place

Bring an interesting Thread. The first ten comments will adhere to the topic and write peacefully... the rest na fight, arguments on who is who and fight

I just read the first page and went to the last page Bc I already know how it works....

My Take on Luxury Cars
It just depends on what you call luxury.
E.g Nigerians have their own way of interpreting luxury.
Benz can never be taken out from luxury cars. Although a lot of cars are giving out a lot of techs.
My brother owns a Citroen SUV, he wanted to change it to buy Benz gl250 2015 model.
We checked the techs in the Citroen and the Benz doesn’t have lots of it.

I simply advices him to stick with his car or buy a higher Citroen or newer Benz.

Tech is his luxury like warm chair,navigation, weight control tech, Assist Driver( this is where the car even knows if you fall asleep and it will vibrate and warn u) etc
These are luxury to him

Interesting discussion. Toyota's Celica (with the beams 3sge&3sgte engines) and even the Supra are driver's cars. Benz has luxury but their cars aren't designed as sports cars IMO. Toyota has a few really great driver's cars and are reliable sort of (depending on which model- how people regard a car with engines that short oil as reliable beats me). Infiniti I know little about.
Here are screenshots of a Quora answer about what Germans think of their cars.

I'm late to the party but I switched to Acura after decades as a Mercedes baby because 3 vehicles in a row the Acura was better equipped than the Mercedes (suvs only). GLK couldn't beat the RDX in 2010 and 2014 and now I just purchased another 2014 MDX advance because Mercedes couldn't provide what I needed.
