simiolu1:


What you failed to consider is that most auto makers try to satisfy consumers with some basic criteria on a scale of preference ish. For a Benz, luxury first. For a BMW, driving dynamics first.

And this scale.of.preference trickles down into all the products they make. So auto heads will tell you anytime anyday that you buy a Merc for the luxury and a BMW for its.driving thrill.

That's one of the reasons why BMW will always be second to Benz in luxury and that's also why AMGs will always be second to M series in driving dynamics and handling.

So when they say you ride a Merc and drive a BMW, that's what they essentially mean. It's just the way it is bro

Concise but still got me wondering why BMW won the grand prix just once and BENZ 76 times. No matter what you desire, benz has got you. You want Economy... Benz got you on the i4 kompressor (BMW is yet to clap back on this), u want performance... They got you on varying scales Avant Garde, AMG, BLACK SERIES, U want luxury... They got u on varieties too, classic, S series, Maybach, you want off road... They got you on that too. I catch your drift tho.

ivoryhouse:

Interesting discussion. Benz has class and all that but I still prefer american cars; chargers and challengers, any day. There's nothing like the sound of a Hemi v8 engine, and I'm not talking about the speed (that pushes you into the seat) then puts a huge smile on your face.

That thing is called G-force, the feeling is so soothing

Zoharariel:


Only illitrates regurgitate this age-long tripe. Benz is a good solid build - no doubt, but if you've ever driven a Bmw or Audi, I swear, you will never type or repeat such trash again. No offense meant by the way.

I've driven all 3and none of the other two combines, luxury, performance and aesthetics like Benz. Benz knows how to find a balance in between all that. Audi is to bland on aesthetic and Interior, only selling point right now is their Quatro, BMW mostly is on the performance side and forget consumers sometimes wanna feel cocooned, too low profile for Naija roads. I see they started changing that their boring yellow backlight.

Explorers:


I give to benz.

Co-signed. Notice how all the Benzes killed it off with the flat-bottom steering. Others are cool tho

No be only 8m, Na 30billion. Car wey you wan borrow sell. Only you put 1m untop.

It's call the "culture" or "migos look", that dress style is pioneered by "Migos" recently Davido and Wiz kid have been big on the "culture". The concept is basically wearing a Shirt and tucking it in your track pant. It's the new trend.

It's a fashion site though.

Hi, how do you shop to Naija from asos? I love what they have on there but the fear of the unknown is what keeps me off. I await your response.

@deprofessional: When the catalytic converter(s) is(are) stolen, tour car becomes more of a polluter of the environment, and all that. Remember, that translates into increased fuel consumption (poor fuel economy, in this case).

The other effect you'd have, is some noticeable rise in tour car's noise levels, beyond the set decibels.

As regards if another one can be improvised in its place, sure, that can be done.

What you just need to factor into the while thing, is to ensure the dimensions of any replaced one, matches the tailpipes, and you're done.

Catalytic converter doesn't improve fuel economy, matter of fact... It's the other way round cos it causes back pressure which impedes performance. Your car breaths freely and performs better with cats removed, you get more horses but might lose some insignificant amount of torque. There are facts littered on the Web with enthusiasts confirming their hypothesis with car Dyno.

Pinshure of the ushers or... You know the rest

maturemindsonly:


380km/h sir?? continue.. when the manufacturer says top speed is 303-312

BUSTED!!!

youngice:

The majority of Nigerian don't know anything about cars. What's their business, who hp and torque epp, I have a car group and we are only 6 in the group cause we are extremely selective of participants, when it comes to cars, people are downright illiterate, how can some argue with me about the existence of an i5 or v12

You never see anything... Wait till they start betting their left balls on the non-existence of V8-12plug engines.

Stop putting all your house and office keys on your car key ring it will save you a whole of ware and tear due to friction.

Palm oil wood is d best
But only if u don't allow rain to drop on it

This is also true, water is palm trees bane. Palm tries are composed of fibre which tends to degrade once exposed to water, that explains why the outer shell is toughest and nearly water proof. If you're going to roof with it, dry season is the best to do so.

Temidayo9:
Palm tree is good and long lasting, but it easily gives way for nail , don't hold on to nail in for long time, especially storm prone area, you will loose your roof easily to storm.

And its also very difficult to achieve roofing neatness compare to wooden .

I agree with you on the neatness but not totally on the part with holding on to nails, the ones that don't hold on to nails are those that has been tapped for Palm wine, if you're using palm tree for roofing, make sure it's the untapped one. Trust me, your carpenters will stop work midway and renegotiate the fee.

EngrMarve:
In engineering there's study for strength of material, if you are building with bricks (which shows it's a modern structure), please do not use palm trees, the composition(bond) of matter in palm trees is not good for modern structures

You have successfully said nothing. Just a bunch of supposed intellectual words mumbled up there. I'm sure you know in that's same Strenght of material there's a study for tensile strength, I've seen trees rip off branches and stem in storms but all I see a palm tree do is take a bow and assume it's position after the storm.

If you may, kindly elucidate how a sparsely layed out 2x4 wood would affect a brick structure...or maybe you forgot the part of Engineering that teaches "wood seasoning".

AlanSugar:


Have you ever heard someone say " I went driving with Mike today in his new car"? Would you say the speaker was the one driving? There's absolutely nothing wrong with that topic and I wish others would contribute.

You're painting a totally different scene. This scenerio here has all the fact staring you in the face to affirm the lady was "riding" which debunks the overhead title.

English is messed up like that but in this instance, the title would have been right if the lady was behind the wheel.

Sylverly:
For me, after thanking God.. You will pay for the cleaning work

Your topic is totally confusing, there's a difference between "drive" and "ride". In this case, you're the one "driving" and the lady is "riding" with you. However... This is hilarious, the headrest almost got her "OMG!" face ;-)

@AlanSugar, I hope you get it now.

ENG 481 . even mynd himself can testify, even the Dean of faculty vibed something was wrong in the faculty after the exam.

Strenght of material from Civil Engineering is another mad one.

I suffered so much trauma and depression without medication back then but it made me strong and tough.

Oshe... Baddest, C300 with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Which one of you is the Álaròbò

Na which one make we believe like this...

elshanAutos:

If you're performance biased, get the C350, if not get the C300. C350 is harder to find compared to the C300, and mostly seen in RWD guise. And of course, the C350 is a bit more expensive.

In addition @ OP, there are 4 class of the W204 but only two is relevant in this discussion which is the C300 and C350, the c300 are divided into two which is the luxury and avant-garde (sport) class. The luxury has the conventional mercedes benz front grill and star emblem protruding at the far end of the hood, mostly soft brown leather interior with wood finish, soft absorbers and adaptive steerwheel to give you that cocoon feel.

The avant-garde on the other hand has a 3 thick line grill with the star emblem smacked right in the center and the mercedes benz coin size logo rammed down at the fore front of the hood instead of protruding, harsher wheel setup for interactive road feel and very responsive steerwheel, all black leather interior with carbon fiber and wood finish, sporty exhaust system to go with too.

If you want power and performance, go for the C63 AMG NA and if you're a petrol head, get the C63 AMG NA black series.

Wish it was the sport trim

Where are the bikes?

Lmao... See person wey wan school person, can't tell the difference between 2011 Accord and a 2013 Accord. I don tire for all this mere middle man calling themselves car dealer on here.

Car Sha ma dupe :\

I have never been known to be a die hard Toyota fan..... I never stated Honda was daft, I said they are not daft to put two vehicle identifying insignia on one vehicle....

Charle...you get time oo, I for don give up tey tey.

Remember the McLaren P1...well, this a Mercedez Benz way of saying F!#K YOU, Mercedes and McLaren have a history in the F1 world which didn't end well and Daimler is just trolling McLaren... It's no coincidence the Project one bears same POne as the McLaren and looks like the McLaren P1 from the front. No doubt McLaren has been having a bad F1 outing since Daimler stopped building them engine, McLaren turned to Honda who also told them to fvck off. Now, Maclaren is considering building it's own F1 engine

@EgunMogaji ... This your troll no easy oo

SamzackD:


dude I know of the braking system,

but what I'm asking is which kind car you wan buy wey you no go fit drive comot for your street.

If you have such money to throw on a car then money to reside in an environment to accommodate that cars desired driving experience won't be a problem.Abuja is a good example.

@Explorers. You didn't make this as interesting. You left out the aerodynamics Engineering of the car. "The chiron has 4 drive protocols Lift, EB, Autobahn, Handling, and Top Speed. EB- normal driving mode, Lift mode raises the ride height four-tenths of an inch front and rear to enable the Chiron to be loaded on a truck or plane or to clear steep drives and speed humps. Autobahn mode (which is also automatically activated at 112 mph) drops the front end of the Chiron eight-tenths of an inch to improve the car’s aerodynamic angle of attack at high speeds, adds more on-center weight to the steering, and raises the active rear spoiler farther into the air flow. Handling mode further stiffens the suspension, programming the shocks to catch rebound motions 50 percent sooner, adds more torque to the steering effort, and tilts the rear wing to deliver more downforce.

At 200 mph the Chiron feels utterly rock steady, preternaturally relaxed, barely breaking a sweat—exactly what you would expect of a car running at less than 75 percent of its potential.

Autobahn and Handling modes will take you to 236 mph. Going faster requires selecting Top Speed mode, activated via a second separate Speed Key, which slots into the floor by the driver’s seat. While stationary, of course. Think of it as the automotive equivalent of ordering a ballistic missile launch.

After the Chiron’s digital neural network runs a systems check, the front end is lowered an additional six-tenths of an inch, and the rear comes down 1.2 inches, dropping the whole car closer to the bitumen. The full-width rear wing is also snugged closer to the carbon-fiber bodywork and set at a shallower angle. Both measures are designed to reduce aerodynamic drag, and they enable the Chiron to hit its speed-limited 261 mph."


That part about the neural network... The car has an onboard artificial intelligence. Dope!
