seems the limo was raised with bigger rims

HeavenlyBang:
Beauty is subjective. The fact that I went on say that they're great cars should tell you I had no bad intentions. But keep looking for pity, you'll find none here. That persecution complex will get you nowhere.

it can get him somewhere, he can die on the cross of Volvo for the sins of the Swedes who ran it into the ground, only to be resurrected on the third day by Geely, son of CHINA

HeavenlyBang:
Should be Geely Enthusiasts Meeting anyway.

I have discovered that the volvo man has a deep seated persecution syndrome, maybe from something that happened in his younger years, if you check he always likes to make it seem like everybody is attacking him always and it's like it has become borderline paranoia, people like that tend to be narcissistic, if you check his stuff you will see he always finds somehow to make everything about him even when it is not

why all these unnecessary arguments. see, we are all brothers. We all hail from the same place now: Asia. some Japan, some CHINA.

So no need to be fighting upandan. let's live together as one and make Asia a better place.

While the milestone itself is crazy, the fact that it was achieved using the original powertrain is all the more impressive.

Farrah Haines is the owner of this 2013 Hyundai Elantra that, for the most part, looks like every other carbon-copy that rolled off the company's assembly line just five years ago. However, it's very likely the most well-traveled example of them all with more than 1,000,000 miles accumulated—all on the original powertrain.

Despite eclipsing the seven-figure mile mark, the Elantra is extremely clean and obviously well cared for. Farrah added a few things, like a grille guard, to help protect her car through the many hours of driving. 

Thanks to her job as a delivery driver, Haines was able to rack up that many miles in less than half-a-decade. In all, she travels about 200,000 miles a year, which is fine by her as she only took up the job as she loved to be behind the wheel and figured she might as well make money in the process.

When her car reached the milestone, Haines was, understandably, a little disheartened that there wouldn’t be a way for her to show the achievement—digital odometers just don't have the space for so many digits.

It was then that Hyundai stepped in to create an exclusive badge, recognizing her achievement. Dubbed "The Million Mile Emblem," Hyundai created it as a genuine part that it will award other drivers with should they achieve the astounding feat.

While driving the same car to a million miles in just five years is a big deal, Farrah says she’s looking forward to the next milestone of 1.5 million miles.

No underestimate lagosians

AutoReportNG:
This is the car Lagos wants badly..

sure, until someone tosses an empty lacasera can into the n aked rotor blades from a passing danfo

see this one forming car person trying to diss corolla. you would know that cars have different categories and classes if you were truly as grounded as you claim

an econobox Toyota Corolla or Hyundai Elantra has a place in its class and a role to fulfil. a Lamborghini Aventador SVR is not more important than a Toyota Corolla, they have different roles to play and appeal to different people.

If you think a Toyota Corolla or even Ford Focus is not a car, go and ask a working class lady in Nigeria with 1 kid and offer her a Tesla roadster vs a Toyota Corolla and see which one she would pick right away with no thinking.

this is fake news

These ones are always yelling and shouting Volvo Volvo, I can see one trying to diss Asian carmakers

but irony is when you diss asian carmakers yet Volvo is owned by Geely which is "a Chinese multinational automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang", full name Zhejiang Geely Holding Group

Volvo that was dying and almost dead before "a little known Chinese car company with a reputation for making low-priced cars of dubious quality — with curious names like King Kong and Beauty Leopard" came in and saved them from themselves

in fact they had not made a profit in 10 years o,

meanwhile I like king Kong sha, I think I would buy a car named king kong

but keep dissing asian car makers ni, don't let that inconvenient truth stop you o

note: no comparison anywhere in my comments o, because I know they will say this one is biased, he loves Toyota, he sleeps with Honda, Nissan is his uncle, because they don't want to accept the truth about their beloved Volvo

make una no worry o. We dey organise our Ssangyong owners get together soon

VOLVO for Life! (someone translate that to mandarin or cantonese abeg lol)

weyreypey:
Post the chassis number please.

pointless

HeavenlyBang:
Tbh, if this was actually a conversion from an RX300 to an RX330, its pretty impressive.

so you believe it's possible to convert a 2000 to a 2005 Lexus rx with the completely different chassis and body

ok o. I didn't know that before. Now I do.

Staks:
correction made

Lol that makes even less sense. 2000 to 2005? na wa

please o how is this now a 2014 Lexus rx 330?

as in, how did you decide it was 2014? Is there a 2014 Lexus rx 330 that looks like this? Is there even any 2014 Lexus rx 330?

I like your unbiased and objective evaluation

wrong question

question should be, what is it with Mercedes Benz and the Nazis?

But you know no matter what this thread will not make front page. Just wait 2 days for Autojosb to post the same thing with source link to his blog and instant FP with 3 posts

KOMBE:
That is serious and unfair if true

If you know, you know. How come none of them have come out to say it is not their car or vin number

.

ugly pictures

Lol I'm sure the car was never sold, just to save the embarrassment. Issokay anyway

chineji:
As much as I am a Mercedes fan, Toyota pioneered the fuel cell technology. The Toyota mirai was the first hydrogen fuel cell car. It should have been a Mercedes

Smart and critical thinker

And na this motor Police dey use do Surugede for road. O ma she O.

This also applies to many of these "new" cars in Nigeria, I saw something on the news the other day about one company in Lagos donating this Nissan to the government plus a new Hyundai assembled in Nigeria.

Nissan NP300 Hardbody Midsize Truck Earns Miserable Zero-Star NCAP Safety Rating

‘Hardbody’ is an ironic name considering the cabin simply collapsed.


In a recent safety evaluation of the NissanNP300 Hardbody performed by the Global New Car Assesment Program (NCAP), it was found that the brand's midsize pickup truck that's sold in various markets around the globe is woefully unsafe.

How unsafe? It earned a zero-star crash safety rating. Zero.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6IsQSSSEj0

The Global NCAP tested a handful of vehicles including the Toyota Yaris, Hyundai i20, Kia Picanto, and the inappropriately named Nissan Hardbody.

But while the Nissan's classmates earned a lukewarm three-star rating, the Nissan simply crashed and burned—quite literally.

The NP300 Hardbody is, in a nutshell, a newer version of the 1997-generation Frontier that's been updated to look better but not necessarily perform better.

It’s not often that we feel bad for the test crash dummies, as they have a pretty important job to do, but this would definitely be one of those times. In watching the video, we can see the occupants being thrown around and crushed by the cab of the truck in nearly every crash scenario. 

Report summary by the Global NCAP:

”The NP300 Hardbody achieved an alarming zero star rating for its poor adult occupant protection mainly in the driver head and chest areas in the frontal crash test at 64 km/h (40 mph)," Global NCAP noted. "The vehicle structure collapsed during the crash test, and it was rated as unstable.

The steering wheel column did not collapse, penetrating the passengers’ compartment, creating an additional risk for the driver as it moved straight into the dummy chest.

This performance showed a significant risk of injuries for the driver despite the car being equipped with double frontal airbags.

The high probability of life-threatening injuries to the driver’s head and chest resulted in the zero-star adult occupant protection rating. Even with an airbag, the driver’s head and chest showed high biomechanical readings.”

And Nissan responded:

“The safety of our customers is Nissan’s top priority," a Nissan South Africa spokesperson told Times SA. "All our cars meet or exceed regulations in all countries in which they are sold.”

Even though none of the vehicles tested are sold in the United States, this is an excellent reflection of the subpar level of engineering some emerging markets have to deal with.

I saw the above article on
http://www.thedrive.com/news/24756/nissan-np300-hardbody-midsize-truck-earns-miserable-zero-star-ncap-safety-rating

It got me thinking about the anything goes syndrome in this part of the world. The response from Nissan is telling, emphasis on meeting or surpassing regulations in countries where they're sold, and not necessarily being strong or durable.
I know I've seen this NP300 around with some NGOs and government agencies who probably spent a lot of money on what's really a 1997 car made to look better. The pickup is a death trap
