2006 GS particularly seems to have issues. Not advisable.

To be fair, I said 2006+. Not 2006.

Eddee:
Did someone compare a Demon/Hellcat to a f*cking hypercar made by Bugatti named after a Greek Centaur known for well...

What do I know eh?

The insult, bruh.

Bugatti makes the greatest cars on this planet, no one can tell me otherwise. Wtf, who else has the guts to put an 8.0L W16 quad-turbo engine in a car? And the interior of the car is perfectly sculpted.

Pagani comes close but they don't even make their engines, so I don't count them as a proper automaker.

joungblood:

Lol, even a Nigerian used 2012 Evoque goes for over 6m.
I've told you this before: Your budget isn't high enough, you'd be better off looking at attainable cars, lest you end up buying something you'll regret.

Myth: American cars like the Camaro or Mustang are expensive, exotic cars.

Fact: False.

American performance cars have traditionally been about value for money. As much horsepower for as cheap as possible. Usually this comes at the expense of chassis engineering, interior quality, build quality, etc. The current-gen Camaro and Corvette are an anomaly chassis-wise. The Camaro in particular keeps up with Porsche's offerings in the segment like the Cayman GT4 on the track. Excellent chassis. Interior is still crap, though.

Back to price, a brand new 4 cylinder Camaro actually costs about the same as a 4 cylinder Camry. So why is it that a 2018 Camry costs about 10m, but a dealers will try to sell a 2018 base Camaro for up to 15m?

In fact, a fully loaded 2012 Camry isn't more than 4.5m, but a 2012 Camaro V6 will be priced at 7m+?

It's a major scam in the Nigerian auto market.

This was the thread below:



Then Ishilove responded thus:



Obviously, you can clearly see here that ishilove was referencing the contemporary Pontiac that we see in Nigeria today.
Thus, the reason I affirmed and still affirm that "Pontiac is never a speed demon". Below was my exact message:


Thereafter, one omo grandpa that was born before Queen Elizabeth started quoting ancient history.

From my quote, I used the verb "is" in its present tense not "was" as past tense as in "Pontiac is never a speed demon".
That's why I referenced modern cars and affirmed that the model mentioned by the omo grandpa is no longer in production. But grandpa wan prove invalid point and werey wey dey disguise cannot understand.

Simple English grammar o.

Fair enough, mate.

Myth
Bugatti is the fastest 0-60mph car in the world.

Fact
There are cars faster than Bugatti. One is even an Electric car.

(1) Dodge Challenger SRT Demon - 0-60 2.1 seconds

(2) Tesla Model S Performance w/ Ludicrous mode -0-60 2.3 seconds

I've literally never heard anyone say that. Bugatti makes grand tourers for top speed, not 0-60. With that in mind, a Chiron still does 0-60 in like 2.6 seconds and the quarter mile in less than 10s. The thing is, at that point, the Chiron is just getting started, since it'll go on to do over 270 MPH, which none of those cars you listed can even dream of.

KingAzubuike:
Someone was arguing with me the other day that Mercedes Benz is a better brand than Audi and BMW. I just couldn't bring myself low to argue with such fellow.

Model for model, year for year, I'll pick a Hyundai Genesis over a Mercedes Benz ( S klasse, A klasse and other sedan category).

Hyundai try for their Genesis Series abeg. Damn!

This is a whole lot of nonsense. I guess you're talking about the Hyundai Genesis. Go sit down in an S Class of the same year and give me your report.

That said, Audi and BMW actually do certain things better than Mercedes. Audi has better build quality, BMW has better performance. Mercedes manages to merge the two effectively but doesn't do it as well.

Myth: Mercedes Benz cars do not rollover in an accident.

Fact: That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Kingdemu:
Oga relax nah no be fight. Oh you mean he's better off buying a told MDX than getting a N4m RX350. I now get what you mean. What I don't get is how a 2005 MDX is better than a 2010 RX350.

You're the one who said what I wrote was rubbish, without bothering to read in the first place. Now I should relax?

I'm talking about the 08 MDX.

Conner44:
For real?

2010 Camry V6 has a better engine than 2010 crosstour V6? Wow!

That’s debatable

I literally just said the opposite.

CelestialSmash:
Crosstour.

paulchucks:
Why have you used it before any insight

Kingdemu:
RX350 rubbish? What you wrote above is the rubbish, beta rubbish.

Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired. Instead of trying to buy a 2010+ RX350 for 4m, he'd be much better off buying a toks MDX.


And yes, like it or not, the MDX is a better car than the RX350. And it's even way cheaper.

miketayo:
Benz is faster than bmw or audi of the same class, mclaren uses benz engine,
The rest I agree but won't be easy.

Blatantly false. An M5 absolutely smashes the E63s. Ditto an RS5 and C63s.

The AMG GT line is excellent, though.

Mclaren does not use a Mercedes engine, I'm not sure what you're talking about. It's Aston Martin that uses the Mercedes 4.0TT.

Philadelphia:
Kingreign and Heavenlybang come and see this guy o. I guess he's asking for a race from you guys with his "speed demon".
Quick facts:
His car should be a 3.8L v6 and should be doing 205 hp. Meanwhile, see the screenshot below

Person wey dey use 2010 Camry v6 still know him limit and will not dare to call his car a speed lemon demon. You say your Pontiac Bonneville na wetin?

Actually, Pontiac was an enthusiast brand and made plenty of fast cars in that time period.

Obviously a fast car in the 80's wouldn't be considered fast now.

joungblood:
Yes bro, I finally settled for the lexus RX350 and it must be the latest spec, with the panoramic roof,
nothing less, yes can't get for that price, but if I see a good one that is well deserving I can up my price to 4-5m.. Na alaroro just dey do me haha

You'll end up buying rubbish.

Buy a toks MDX and enjoy your car.

OLADDD:



Real men go for v6.....

V12.

Bad idea. Sell the car and buy another one.


I'm more surprised that a 2015 Camry doesn't have push button start, though.

paulchucks:
Why have you used it before any insight

Better engine, better interior, 4WD if you want, better ride quality, higher ground clearance.

Crosstour.

nurey:
Number 4 is a no no, never switch gear to Neutral when ever you loose control of vehicle, rather downshift to allow engine braking decrease your speed.

so if you are going down a slope and you switch to Neutral nah suicide mission be that

This. Use engine braking, don't shift to neutral.

Eddee:
HeavenlyBang stroll come here abeg. Person dey here wer get out budget and him no sabi how to run am

Lmao, you wan dey whine full NL

goodysb:
Hello Guys, I run a business that pays me 800-1m+ salary per month and I have been thinking about getting a car for myself, although I started an ecom business and my products are arriving this week.... I would love you guys opinion on the ideal car to get.

Thanks in advance ✌️

Personally, I wouldn't use more than 3-4 months of income on a car purchase.

So, I'd say your budget shouldn't be more than 3-3.5m.

Look at:

- 2006+ Lexus GS
- 2008 Lexus ES
- 2009 Acura TL
- 2007 RX350
- 2008 Acura MDX
- 2008 C300

Personally, of all those cars, I'd probably buy a GS or a TL.

Enjoy.

Na you put the turbocharger?

package00:
Please I need a good car recommendation for a family of Six.

Priorities on Reliability, safety, Maintenance,fuel economy and a budget range of 2 to 3million.

I will appreciate advise from our gurus here. Thanks in advance.

cc: nurey, heavenlybang, philadelphiaUnion, gazzuzz and others not mentioned. Thanks

Highlander with third row is the best option.

olumzzz:
This is a no brainer. Acura.
But that's if you can financially cope with the fueling of a v6.

There is a four cylinder TSX.

chukel:
if you know what's best for you, stay away

Seconded. To prevent unnecessary gbese.

TSX, of course.

josephsm823:
Please I'm looking for a new ride.. Currently own RX 330 and I want to add another car to my garage.
Between Mercedes Benz glk350 2011, Mercedes Benz ML350 2010, and Mercedes E350 2011.
Please recommend the best one for me.

Since you already have an SUV, get the E350. Get a 2012 if possible.
