This is not about hype, but Facts. Is it indeed a better car than most there makes?
I have never used one, so i wouldn't know.

Fact still remains that everyone can't love the same thing cos of some 'FACTS' as arranged by some groups of people.

My hatred for Benz isn't gonna end grin

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.
Are you OK?
Economy class hbo go there �

Poverty die in your life.
Pls visit mercedesbenz.com.The only thing premium economy in their lineup is the A Class models.

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 Murahno. Even 2.2 had its time. grin grin
I remember those times of Infiniti, Hummer and Camry 2.2. musicians will not even let us rest.

@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.
Absolute rubbish, how can an reasonable person compare a Mercedes to a Toyota? A Mercedes Benz is the standard measurement of wealth when it comes to luxury vehicles.

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.



Economy

From the 2003 model of the c class, it’s all about economy...

I use a c300 and it’s economy is out of this world..
Once you switch to sport, well you automatically trade your fuel for power, watch it guzzle your fuel like beer..

5M for S class. Lol. No wonder you think benz is hyped. When you finally develop taste for quality, you'll see that what you typed is not just it.
But wait oh, who will spend 5m naira for a 2005 sclass Benz, when they're better options for your money.
Don't know much about cars but with the little I know, i was reading about car internal components, from my findings I realized the Vehicle Stability Assist electronic stability system, was realized or achieved from 2007 car models upwards, so car models from 2007 upwards has such ratings unlike cars behind that year.

People that don’t aspire to drive Benzos never end up having money, they will end up with a broken down old Volkswagen Golf GTI. It is quite obvious you haven’t left Nigeria, your opinion is based on what you see in your state? Mercedes Benz is King, if you don’t like the E Class saloon Class, you can go for the GL Class, or The ML Class, A class for college students, S Class for the Chairmen, E Class for the young Executives, G Wagon for the politicians, the list is endless.

What is this man saying that he doesn’t like Mercedes? Those are words of an ignorant peasant.
