Pls enlighten them o! Na so dem go dey shout benz benz benz!!! Some dont even know what AMG, 4MATIC, or Brabus Stand for..

Their matter just tire me...Dem no go hear word

What most of them don't understand is that comparison is not by performance alone but in conjunction with "PRICE".... Price is among the major factor in comparison

Performance in relation to price is the real comparison (like is it worth it)

Imagine....the G class is like 3X the price of the LR defender and the LR defender can easily deliver what G-class has to offer, as a sane person, which one will u go for? But we Nigerians follow the masses asses and hype

I guess you are still pretty young (under 20 years). You will not understand the craze around >Mercedes-Benz 190, "V-Boot" and Mercedes "220 and 230 in the early and mid-90s and early 2000s. It was the ultimate symbol of wealth or status or at least higher middle-class status in Nigeria. Nothing dwarfed them... These were the classics.



Lol do you even know the meaning of "Ultimate"?? True the "V-Boot" is a classic but it wasn't the ultimate symbol of wealth or status...no try talk that thing again! It was actually more affordable than most of other luxury brand that were way out of reach of some rich folks but calling it The "Ultimate symbol of wealth" is a no no! Why it kinda stood out apart from it being cheap as compared to other brands, was it's speed and power but in terms of Reliability, Luxury, Driving Experience etc it couldn't stand up to some cars...Roll Royce, Cadillac,Aston Martins, Bentley,Audi,BMW are way ahead

Power in terms of Speed
Who needs Speed in Nigeria?
What we need is ruggedity, Durability, Strength to face the Toughest road conditions etc.

The way these guys hype this Benz of a thing ehn, it's truly a "craze". There's nothing special about a Benz , alot of regular and financially average peeps own and drive it around here. I read from page one to here someone said Benz is the status of wealth hahaha. So what will a person that own a Bugatti or rolls Royce now say? In Europe and the USA, Benz isn't that popular. Asides from exotic cars like Nissan gtr, Aston martin, Koenigsegg, Ferrari and those categories, Audi and BMW comes next. Infact you will see five thousand BMW and Audi before you sight one single Benz. Benz is good but the hype given to it in the Nigerian market is irritating.
thank God you said Nigerian market

Benz isn't a cheap car to maintain and the owners don't complain unless you want to beef them bro

No Nigerian will waste 100-300M on a Benz model. That 300M will buy you a Lamborghini urus which is suitable for Nigerian roads and change will remain to club at quilox for the rest of your life. You go get 300M con dey buy Benz lol. You know nothing about cars.

As per the Benz fans you are you fit mention a model of your beloved Benz better than the urus
Speak for yourself, the people driving 2020 S, G Wagens and bullet proof variants in Nigeria are not ghosts.

You shot yourself in the foot. A 2020 model of any car brand out there would definitely cost some money. Moreso even a beetle bullet proof will cost you money.

Guy! during that period, v-booth was synonymous with being a "big man"... That was the symbol, you could have other cars during this period I stated but you just must have a Mercedes-Benz.. Name the BMW, Audi, Aston Martins and Bentley brand that stood out as a symbol the way Merced Benz V-Booth did. Mercedes-Benz 190 was for the younger men who were in the same position Yahoo boy are occupying in this present generation.
Ross-Royce was just exclusive to a few, the Ross-Royce were manufactured with a limited number of customers in mind and not like the mass-produced entry-level luxury cars like Mercedes Benz "V-Booth" aqnd The smaller Benz 190.

It's like comparing iPhone with Tecno. Benz all the way

NewDelhi:
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?

He is talking resale... Dude are you buying a car to enjoy or resale.... Most benz owners buy them to enjoy confirm and handling not reselling .. that is japanese thing

You must understand the philosophy behind owning a benz... I have driven two benzes and that is the philosophy... Next you talk about fuel.... Trust me benz owners don't care about that either

Bro, I guess you and ur babe never see ford F-150 raptor before... she'll become wet instantly cheesy

But in terms of pickup bro, nothing comes closer to Ford raptor any day, anytime

Ford raptor (tuned) any day, anytime, twice on Saturday bro
