Mercedes Benz : E Class.
Mercedes also had it's fair share of Midlife Crisis in the aesthetics department for it's best selling sedan...This E Class first introduced in 2009 as a 2010 Model year got heavily revised in 2013, the E-Class was comprehensively facelifted, featuring significant styling changes, fuel economy improvements and updated safety features. Daimler invested close to €1 billion into the development of the extensive refresh, making it likely the most expensive mid-life facelift in the history of the automobile. The biggest change was the singular front lights replacing the twin headlamp design (marking the end of Mercedes's dual headlamps use) with integrated LED DRL's

The Interior of the Elantra remains unchanged though.

The back looks good though but the front facia looks like a fish that's about to get caught in a hook, the droopiness is not nice looking.
...But like They have done in the past, Hyundai extensively facelifted its 2019 Elantra sedan model. The 2019 model received new exterior look, safety features, infotainment system with revised center-stack controls. The new redesign will have a trianglar headlight and a redesigned taillights. The pricing and the release of the redesigned elantra will be announced later this year.

Hyundai : The Hyundai Elantra

The 2012 to 2015 Hyundai Elantra was a master piece, the curves on that vehicle coupled with the right pricing made it the best selling hyundai Model in North America, it particularly became a top selling Model in Nigeria too. One would have thought it's replacement would use the same formula but looked liked the guys at Hyundai got intoxicated and tried to go conservative. It went South..


The Model that replaced it has been described as drab and uninspiring.

Toyota: Toyota Camry.
When the 2012 Model year was unveiled in 2011, it faced criticism for it's boring design which has seemed to be the hall mark of Toyota. Bland designs but reliable. The criticism must have been felt by Toyota executives all over that two years into the Model year, Toyota came up with a mid cycle facelifting...some could have confused it for a totally newer model. This update ran for the remainder of the production and was praised for it's much more improved sporty aesthetic.

Autos › Automobiles Designs : When They Get It " Not quite right". by makizee(op):
Car Manufacturers do sometimes get it wrong with a new design, so bad feedback from car buyers shows an outgoing model of a car looks way better than a new redesign... Which is why car Manufacturers do something called Mid-Cycle refresh...meaning in the middle of production, some mainly usually cosmetic changes are introduced...Here are three Manufacturers that did just that.

Lol...you really want to stay for half a year after the expiration of your rent...and you think that's justifiable. He has given you enough time to find alternative accomodation, i believe that's good enough, save yourself the stress and seek alternative accomodation.
On the law part, i believe it's actually six months notice and not six months free accomodation(after expiration of rent), you are entitled to be given six months notice to vacate. (I stand to be corrected)

Politics › Why Atiku Is A Much Better Choice Than Buhari. by makizee(op): 1:35pm On Oct 13, 2018
Why Atiku is a much better choice than Buhari.

I already knew i could not in all honesty support the second term bid of President Buhari, a man that rode on popular resentment of the ineffective Jonathan administration rather that his own personal strengths (except his anti-corruption toga anyways) but no one, not even his most adherent supporters then (including this writer) could say conclusively his plans for the economy, security, restructuring and matters that were very important to our national life. The APC had blueprints, their position on restructuring was well known which incidentally was at variance with their Presidential candidate. People thought the Party that had the likes of Fashola and other Intelligentsia was going to help in any way to make these things happen but after Baba won and was sworn into office, and took six months to form a so called cabinet, His agenda became clear..A stop-gap directionless government of no policies, a government of trials and errors, it became apparent that Buhari and his party were obviously unprepared for governance. He probably didn't think he was gonna win and was weirdly surprised Jonathan conceded so easily (His words, not mine).To say his administration has being a failure would be putting it mildly.
I would admit that the present general sentiment that this "administration has done badly, so lets replace them" is what got us Buhari in the first place but who can blame Nigerians, they have suffered enough, they have been patient enough, the next government always seems to be worse that the one it replaces, Life has become even more brutish and short,Even his much touted anti corruption toga has turned out to be a big fat con job (apologies to Donald Trump) People still get killed like we are at war, health care quality has worsened, 3000 Nigerian trained Doctors leave these shores every year, Quality education is a mirage, 11 Million jobs have been lost since 2015 yet this president remains unperturbed, he hardly addresses the nation except when abroad, Virtually no part of our national life has seen even some form of improvement, and to add salt to the injury, he acts like he's doing us a favour being President, what stupid arrogance !
Atiku is no saint, no one is but he has won the ticket of the only other party capable of dislodging the APC government, i'm not particularly fond of the man but when something is obviously not working, the only sensible thing is to change it, Only a fool will continue doing the same thing and expect a different result. Atiku unlike Buhari has shown he has a deep understanding of the economy, he is one of the earliest proponents of restructuring, he was the head of OBJ's economic team and i dare sat that period saw the most economic growth in recent history. The major comma seems to be "He is corrupt" slogan his opponents spread about, but Atiku's alleged corruption like Buhari's so called integrity is nothing but a smokescreen, supporters and opponents respectively use to argue their points. Atiku left office in 2007, no government has brought any charges against him including this one that not too long ago called him an asset to their party, he has no case anywhere in the world (Including the US) ..Oh, he can't visit the US abi, When did visiting the US become a criteria by which presidential candidates are judged, besides The US like every sovereign country decides who they grant a visa and who not to, Atiku applied and was denied and that's that. It has absolutely no importance to the issues we face here so let's focus on what matters people !
Picking such a smart fellow like Peter Obi is a joker from the Atiku's camp by the way. Always a smart political move to pick a running mate that would energize one's ticket. The antecedent of Mr Peter Obi is well known (Sorry Emmanuel O�). Atiku picking the intellectual and very practical Peter Obi as running mate is a masterstroke. I have no doubt that this team would do a much better job that the Grandpa and his direction-less & ineffective team that took six months to assemble.
So as i foresaw a Buhari's victory in 2015, i foresee a Atiku or is an Atiku's victory in 2019, i could have been wrong in 2015 but i wasn't.. I could be wrong now but i really doubt that, the sentiments favour him.

Car Talk › Re: Volkswagen Lost $6.25m On Every $2m Bugatti Veyron Sold And A Total Of $2.3b by makizee(m): 11:26pm On Jun 28, 2018
aaronson:
I watched the documentary, Bugatti wasn't necessarily a car to be marketed but to break the speed time record. A lot of engineering was really put into it that after completion and test driving, the regular tires bursted out due to the speed of the car, so they had to go back and get Airplane tired with a lot of work on of as well to withstand the pressure of the speed of the car. Is like only one tire cost about $27,000 dollars.

The car caught the attention of money bags world wide so Volkswagen had to put it on the market but here how the loss came about, Bugatti held the world fastest car for about 2 years or so while they sold for about 6-8 million dollars but on the third year or so, McLaren came out their low budget but faster than Bugatti car, this knocked Bugatti price down.

But Buggati is still respected and sought after. I love that car for it's bug look and not really the speed. It runs faster than a planes/jets but only the bombardier jet has ever out run it.
Your last Paragraph is false, it is a fast car but to say an engine that runs on cylinders and strokes runs faster than a jet engine means you do not know the principle on which these engines run...it is engineering-ly impossible for that to happen.

Abegii...What about the many Job Applicants that do all the right things and still do not get the jobs...The truth remains, there are no jobs commiserate with the number of graduates churned out yearly..so it takes more than just searching right, having a good grade and what not.
I really feel for every young graduate out there.

CAPSLOCKED:

YOU'LL TRANSFER THE MONEY AND RUN ONLINE TO GIVE US TALES.

THIS EXTORTION WON'T STOP BECAUSE THE COUNTRY'S LEADER IS A COW WHO KNOWS NOTHING, AND BECAUSE NIGERIANS ARE ONLY BRAVE ON THE INTERNET.

IF PEOPLE WOULD STAND THEIR GROUND, REFUSE TO GIVE THEM ANY MONEY, AND OTHER PEOPLE GET INVOLVED.. I'M SURE THIS MENACE WILL BE STOPPED ONCE AND FOR ALL.

THE ENDSARS TWITTER PROTEST HAS GONE DOWN AS THE MOST FRUITLESS MOVEMENT IN HISTORY.
THE CLOWNS THAT ENGAGE THE POLICE TWITTER HANDLE ARE THE MOST FOOLISH OF FOOLS. NOBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO YOUR CONVERSATION WITH @POLICENG. NOT THE PRESIDENT, NOT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL.
ACCOUNT IS PROBABLY HANDLED BY A YOUTH CORPER, ASSISTED BY A BOYS BRIGADE MEMBER.

FIGHTS CANNOT BE WON BEHIND PHONE AND COMPUTER SCREENS.

WE AS CITIZENS CAN ATTEMPT TO FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS AND THAT OF OTHERS, SOMETIMES.. INSTEAD OF JUST WINDING UP AND GOING FORWARD ONCE WE'VE SEEN THAT THE VICTIM IS NOT RELATED TO US.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE NEED TO REPLACE THE COW ON SEAT WITH A HUMAN BEING IN 2019.
It's easier said than done, many would want to resist, i would definitely resist but when one is faced with the reality of gun totting and probably high Individuals, who probably has no respect for human life and see no qualms shooting one, you just want to get away from that as quickly as possible
Politics › Re: Video Of Late Chief MKO Abiola Singing At A Birthday Party Emerges (WATCH) by makizee(m): 6:06pm On Jun 13, 2018
humilitypays:
I learnt MKO Abiola masterminded the sinking of a ship carrying Holy Bible to Nigeria. He did it as a devout Muslim as part of his own effort and contribution to stifle the word of God from spreading, and he forgot that God is bigger than any human being or nation.

I learnt this caused him his political ambition and eventual loss of his life. I am not so sure of this story, but behind every rumor, there is an atom of truth.

So to all those fighting Jihad and fighting Jehovah by killing innocent unarmed Christians, burning Churches, destroying Christians' properties, be warned because your day of judgment will sure come cool
Total Bullshittery from his political opponents, that you would believe such an astounding fable speaks volume
