Lexus can only try. Daimler-Benz on a different level. Lexus is in the class of lnfiniti, Acura.....even Audi still on a different lane with Lexus. Don't get it twisted. When you see serious benz and not watered-down versions.

Lexus is also classy, but it shouldn't be compared to BENZ at all grin

You dont know anything about cars. There are many brands far better than Benz in terms of luxury, reliability, safety, durability, etc.

You get money to buy latest Benz?
Benz is of many categories and some are quite expensive to afford.
Unlike Lexus, the latest model comes the others fade away.

A Lexus is not on the same level as a Benz. Street boys are just realizing that owning a Benz is one level, maintaining the Benz is another. Pls don’t compare sleep & death again, dem no be mate! Meanwhile where all dem vanity crew? grin

Don't mind crowd following Nigerians.

Mercedes Benz cars aren't costly like they hype it. In fact the Tokunbo is cheap even in the US because people run from it cos of economy.


Only the Maybach and Gclass models are costly.

Sometimes ago, a nairalander compared the sudden madness for Benz cars to the madness Nigerians had for blackberry between 2007 and 2013. He was bashed , insulted and bruised. He was right afterall, it was the Yahoo boys and street musicians that made Benz so popular. It was so bad a particular nairalander was even comparing a Benz model to the rolls Royce wriath.

There was a time Range Rover was the reigning thing, Benz took over and Toyota venza came into the limelight briefly. Now it's Lexus. Which will be next?
It like havin benz conversations all day only to go home and have Lexua Dreams
My AMG GLE coupe is on its way IJN �

Moreover most of these foreign manufacturers know alot of Nigerians love luxury but can't afford it. They know Nigerians love premium luxury but they don't have the money so what they do is give you something a little close to luxury. That's the case with Benz, it's an economy class luxury.
Exactly, same thing samsung phones manufacturers are doing now.
Before Samsung comes in premium luxury just like iphones but now it is of different range e.g midrange, premium, low range budget so that lovers of their products can afford it.

The OP isn’t comparing, but trust Nlders to turn it into a Jap Vs German car argument.

Cars come and go. You say there was a time Range Rover was reigning? I take it you didn’t know the days of Infiniti and Murano. Even 2.2 had its time. grin grin

@v2 I tire for them lol and the funniest thing is that some or most of them have never own, currently own a Benz yet you'll see them coming online to hype the car like there's no tomorrow. The craze for this thing is very similar to the blackberry craze of years back. It will gradually fade and something else will begin to reign before that one fades too

You know another another funny thing, alot of die hard fans of Benz are mostly youths and younglings who have zero taste and money. Older people have greater taste and you'll never see them with a Benz .



I don't blame you , u go see better s class 5-7 M. Benz no cost, na poor man's luxury. Even Lexus have models worth over 200-300M so what are you saying? That Lexus model wey ochacho gift davido is worth almost a hundred.

Lexus worth 300 M? Please sir, what did you smoke before typing this?

No way close to taking over, on the contrary Benzo sales have increased most especially the C- Class, & E-Class models.
