@ d names of cars in naija,more than four(4) years ago i created the topic below and asked a very simple question on this forum but i didn't really get a concrete answer from any body and then the names were simple but funny and it's getting funnier by the day.
I hope by 2020 there will still be enough names under the sun for cars being driven in Nigeria....lol grin

[quote author=dayleke]
Can somebody please tell me who are the members of panel or the authoritative body that sits and give these pseudonyms to different cars in nigeria?
eg Hondas - halla,baby boy,bullet,end of discussion etc

There are car freaks in Nigeria than you can ever imagine; grin The big Camry under discussion is not one of my favourites, it looks like empty box when it starts ageing, too big and clunky sort of.

inspired_m: The Car is Popularly Called "BIG DADDY" or "BIG For NOTHING".

Model year started from 2002 - 2006

The Later explains further, the Vehicle is Unnecessarily Spacious, the Trunk Can Contain a Large COW.

However, mechanical Wise, It is very SOUND and Cheap to Maintain.

The 4 Cylinder Engine is the same Up till 2011 Toyota Camry,

The 2006 - 2011 Toyota RAV 4 and also the 2001 - 2011 Toyota Highlander SHARES the same 4 CYLINDER Engine with the Camry.


The Engine is arguably the Best YET from Toyota.

Cheers


Aren't these in itself, advantages? undecided

My dad bought two of them in 2002 and the car have served the family faithfully. One was stolen and my brother has been using the other even with his poor maintenance culture. The car is cheap because of the bad name given to it. I am seriously planning for one too.

This 2003-2006 camry is a reliable car anyday but not as reliable as the pencil light.But from experience i prefer the Camry muscle anyday,in terms of handling and interior.

the car is okay if only you will not exceed 80km/hr. i and three of my colleagues have had the same pattern of accidents; sumersaulting severally before coming to a halt after a minor sway. do not EXCEED 80KM/HR!!!![b][/b]

Which european cars ? Peugeot,volkswagen or mercedes ? shocked
Can a mercedes be compared to a toyota,nissan,honda or any japanese car? I drive an Audi A6 2000 model and wat I have in my car as a semi. Luxury car is even better when compared to a toyota 2008 or honda. My audi is well balanced on d ground never designed to somersault and it has d best abs in d world for a safety sedan. Japanese are for babes,I have accounts of so many japanese cars like toyota camry pencil light dat R prone to somersault at a speed of 160 and over,even ir big daddy has got d same problem. Go to google n compare d weight of an audi 2000 quattro and a toyota 2008 or honda and see which weighs better. Japanese are copy cats, dey copy old versions of german cars. German machines anytime,anyday.

my brother, check your tyres and brakes. even a race car will sommersault if fitted with poor/defective tyres. next is your driving habit.

The 2006 Camry xle v6 is nothing short of beautiful. Visit carcomplaints.com or edmunds.com and you will see why. The 08/09 models, tho prettier, were subject to questionable build quality. I'm not a fanboy, but a spade is a spade.

Find link below about this Camry model, especially the 2003 model with 2,4L engine:

http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/camry/148454-camry-with-stripped-head-bolts/#post1242970

Be careful with your choice of model and engine, if you must drive this Camry model (Big for Nothing).
