a lot seemed to be too terrified to speak out while for others, there seem to be some air of secrecy shrouding the whole thing.... it is scary to say d least of what comes to mind when u consider the fact that it seems we r the strangers here considering that water is more than land mass.. and therefore should have more population and more sophistication.... again when u look at certain places designated as no go areas by the UN and certain discoveries purported to have being around those areas and the way authorities quickly rose up and swept everything under the carpet with little or no traces, then u start to shudder... now, all of these conspiracy theories are yet to take into cognizance the spiritual angle which is a whole different ball game entire....

wonderful!! you spoke from the heart Theconglomerate: All these kind arguments sef weh no get head and tail. Mercs are expensive to buy,expensive to run and even expensive to abandon,we all know. But if you can afford it please go for it,the lexus will never compare to your E350 in anyway asides speed with no guarantee. Arewa boys Celebrated Salah the other day and we no see any fucķed up japanese crap in their line up,and some say merc owners are brainwashed.  Is it possible to brainwash a rich person?abi you think merc buyers are your regular hungry church goers who can't tell quality differences? I also own a japmobile and a very new one at that for now not because it is wonderful but for the fact that I can't afford proper luxury for now. Trust me when the time comes,I won't even sell what i own to switch to mercedes but will take it to a scrap yard and watch a hydraulic press squash it to death! No one deserves such mediocrity and a reminder for under achieving! I'll either buy a w205,w204 facelift,w212 facelift(not upgraded pls) or a power bike. These are cars that make you feel happy and fulfilled,not some cheap looking,cheap feeling pice of shit called gs350.Go and look now he wasn't even talking of a newer GS but the 2007 ugly thing.tufiakwa. Use your 3 million wisely or better still reinvest it in something good than to use it in a car and end up buying rubbish and unfulfilment and join the Nigeria league of crap praisers. Tueh!! |

Here we go again! Bro any car can be driven for a considerable distance with a stuck parking brake and you know this. I agree the Benz has plenty cool gizmos that make it fun to do so, a couple beeps here and there - limp mode in order not to exceed 45 mph. your very opposite |

have u gotten a Peugeot?? RZArecta: i read the auto transmissions on the 06/07 407’s were made by Porsche, I would think there was durability in those newer transmissions compared to earlier models. From your reply, does it mean those who have been speaking against this car were worried about only the electricals ? If not I see no reason for the angst. Better a Peugeot than any Corolla, Camry etc |

Do you know what it Italian tine up? It is drive it like you stole it... Take the car for a spin !
Italian tuneup is a slang automotive term for attempting to restore engine performance by driving a car at high engine speed (RPM) and load.
The term originated from Italian mechanics in the 1950s using this practice to burn off carbon deposits from the spark plugs of sports cars - Wikipedia

Car Talk › Re: Life And Times Of An Infiniti G35 by BamBamK: 2:12pm On May 29, 2020 |
king406: I will be comparing more of the performance part of Infiniti G37x coupe with its competitors; Lexus IS350 and E92 BMW 335i. Keep in mind that i’ve owned all 3 cars, the G37x being the current. Note that this is all based off of MY experience, not google.
First off, I love the looks of the G37 coupe, not too flashy yet stylish, aggressive stance and perfect ride height. To most people, it could pass as just any other car. But to those who have a slight knowledge about cars, the big round double exhausts and the 3.7 badge is an easy giveaway. If that doesnt do it, the exhaust growl will pass the message that this is not just any other car, but something quite special, and enthusiasts might consider it legendary. Interior is nothing special in todays world, it is just a simple and clean looking dashboard. The G37 is quite a small car with laughable boot space, small leg and head room. At 6’1 i find myself wishing i had more leg room, but it is something i can manage.
Visibility is very good, despite being a coupe. It has good sized side mirrors and there’s nothing obstructing the rear view. The first thing you notice when driving the G37 is the driving position. If you are familiar with german cars, one of the best things about them is the driving position. The steering sits a bit lower than the dashboard and the seats are up-high making you feel in command of the road. The G37 makes me think i’m in a german car, the driving position is just as good. The steering has the perfect weight to it too.
The car has a 3.7 Liter V6 engine with 330hp and 270 torque, mated to a 7 speed transmission that complements the VQ engine. The G37x benefits strongly from its all wheel drive system, you can floor the accelerator from standstill without much of a wheelspin. It definitely feels like a mid 5sec to 60mph car. It has a very short 2nd gear which i think affects the 0-60 time negatively, it needs to shift up to 3rd gear to reach 60mph. If the 2nd gear was longer, we will most likely be looking at a mid to high 4sec car.
As a Mercedes Benz fan at heart, i am saddened and embarrassed Mercedes didn’t join the competition performance wise in this class of vehicles, at least not until 2015 with the C400. And yes, the C400 is faster than the G37, 335i and IS350, maybe even the Audi S4! They came late to the party, but they blew out the competition as usual. 
Anyway, the G37 FEELS like it is faster than the IS350 and 335i from 0-60mph, it is louder and more aggressive than its counterparts. The story may be different if the Lexus and BMW i had were also all-wheel drive. Nonetheless, it is difficult for me to tell which of these cars is faster to 60mph, i believe it will depend on who takes off first, the slightest difference will give any of them the advantage. However, the Lexus will be dropped by the time they get past 60mph, though not by much, but the competition is really between the G37 and 335i, which i think will be a close call until around 100mph, the BMW will begin to pull away. Things will get more interesting when cutting through traffic, when 0-60 times dont matter, but the responsiveness of the engines, transmission, brakes and handling come into place. In this instance, the 335i is the car to drive without question. When those turbo’s spool, it gets very serious in the 335i and things can quickly get out of hand. Perfect handling gives you every confidence to cut through traffic without worry, the transmission wastes no time in handling business. I believe the Lexus and Infiniti will be closer this time around, the Lexus benefits from its quick shifting transmission (one of the best transmissions i’ve experienced) and also being lighter than the Infiniti. The G37 benefits from its rev-matching feature (it downshifts to the proper gear when braking or coasting to provide instant takeoff when you floor it) but it has much more weight to work with. All Infiniti had to do was to make the G37 at least 100kg lighter and increase the ratio of its 2nd gear to be clearly ahead of the competition. It would be interesting to put these cars head to head, if i were to pick one for life, i’d pick a Mercedes Benz C400! 
CC HeavenlyBang, Kingreign wonderful!! that was quite objective. i appreciate the effort. |
