This thread is not for children cars.

HellRaiXer:
Ok, I don't know much about the Mercedes F class and mini cooper so I won't attempt to pretend in an online forum I do. But if those Mercedes you just mentioned aren't the S, E and C classes and their various variants and subbrands then they are just cars with Mercedes badges on them.

That was before, bro. It's old news now. Mercedes will dust the taillights outta BMW and have been doing so for the past couple years. Even Audi have overtaken BMW in speed and manoeuvrability.


You're partly right. But you see, Mercedes built stately cars that are timeléss in design and not loud and noisy designs like Honda accord 2003, Nissan Infinity/Murano and the BMW X6 whose designs wear out fast and tell the era they were produced.

Check out the C class 2000 model, E class 2001 model and the S class 2004 models, they are so relevant today when most designs of other cars have failed.

Mercedes remains the only brand that gives you timelessness, class, speed, comfort and prestige in a classy way.

Only Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Range Rover (to an extent) does this.

Yorobastard:
Firstly the F class is addressing the ugly bit of Mercedes and the Mini Cooper is a BMW product while the smart is Mercedes product which obviously when compared by you will choose the Cooper no doubt....

I respect the C, E, S class variants they are unique in their own way but newer products of Mercedes-Benz has a little touch of BMW

I don't really know about the new Mercedes-Benz horsepower and how long it takes to get 0-100m/h but like you said.....Audi is a Beast.....I give it to them.

Every atom of truth in your last paragraph but you forget to add Safety....Mercedes is one of cars if not the best in the world with the Best Safety control and Mechanics....I give it to them but all na money

ChristineC:
Toyota is children car huh? I just dey laff

HellRaiXer:
Of course Toyota na mass production. Only in Nigeria does Toyota receive so much false hype.

ChristineC:
only in Nigeria right? tell that to people who don't travel. maybe you should use a "proper" Toyota first.

For your info, some German model-year vehicles are poor as well. For example the Mercedez ML till around 2006 was total dross. Ask anyone who used one and get testimony.

HellRaiXer:
Use a proper Toyota? Hahahaha. Every imp has ridden or have been driven by the best car Toyota has produced! It's like Tecno phones, they are all over the place and everyone has them or has someone who does. Mass products without inspiration!

Who brags with a crappy car like Toyota or Honda except Nigerians who know next to nothing about cars?

The 2006 Mercedes ml is the second generation ml and it's fine. I think you mean the 1st generation ml which was produced in the US in a brand new plant that wasn't up to standard but it still trumped all Toyota Jeep of that era.

You don't know about cars.

ChristineC:
the ML of that era cannot hold its own, it is being sold for pittance and nobody still care. A 1999 4Runner will be bought faster than that pre 2006 ML. Ask around my friend. But then...
That's your view and there's no point bragging, but I have driven German, French, American, Japanese and Korean. The day to day production vehicles are not that much different. You'd never catch an American or a Brit slagging off a Toyota despite their chain of vehicle companies, how much less us? Abeg no make me laugh.

Timelezz:
Bros, Toyota has fast resell capabilities no one argues that! Is that how you grade cars? The 2001 4runner has a crappy carpenter's interior, poor handling and a 1983 Mercedes 190E will out run it.

Yes, Americans blasts Toyota alot less than they blast h Honda.

If after claiming you drove all the cars you mentioned and still say they aren't much difference, then I will say you are either a liar or your perception capabilities are greatly flawed.


Pleeaaaase, after driving any Japanese, the first feeling you get when you drive a European car especially Mercedes or BMW is more road-feel, a granite feeling and a sense of total control of the vehicle.

In Japanese, you experience loss of road-feel especially when on speed, an isolation of the tarmac and poor cornering and less in control when driving in high speeds more especially if you had driven a Benz or BMW.

ChristineC:
If these cars have all the hullaballoo and still sits in a dealer shop with lesser resale value than their Toyota counterparts then that should tell you that the conventional day to day user demand practicability, not a hell load of tosh crammed in with nothing standing out.

ChristineC:
Vehicle manufacturing are into various segments, those that want speed and manoeuvring index know where to look likewise those that want haulage capabilities or just a family sedan. For Toyota to still have a good number of representation in these segments even in countries with credible auto plants should give you a solid picture.
The Land Cruiser and the LX compete favourably with any other high-end luxury SUV in their class.
The Tacoma/Hilux do the same.
The 4Runner do the same.

If you wish to stretch it we can dig up comparable stats from credible websites on ratings and sales of product.

Timelezz:
Tecno will always outsell Apple and Samsung. It is cheap and it's affordable. And the world will always have more poor people than rich people. Period. Toyota is meant for everybody. Mercedes Benz is not! End of story.!
Why are Japanese brands struggling on the luxury department? If they are that good, they should make as much sales on their luxury brand as they do in those crappy segment.

Are you a fanboy?
