Doing 90mph on Nigerian road is suicidal imho

You're an idiot... Bigotry will kill buzuru like you.

kingthreat:
If you dash me IVM, I will sell it for half the price and join money buy a Kia or Tata than Anambra-made trash

This is here is why most of the monikers are anti-IVM on this thread..no other reason but primordial hatred..useless people.

Sunymoore:


Heh.. Actually, the car was stable of its kind.. The Toyota Hiace basically have no air bags nor seatbelts too.. So, I'm comparing apples to apples..

Yeah.. Speed comparison is outdated, but still, is a yardstick of stability

Both the Toyota Hiace and the IVM buses have airbags. Both vehicles fall in exactly the same class, and are comparable in all areas.

Yes but let's "slutter" ignorance and stark illiteracy on the "alter" of hate, envy and wickedness..

I read a comment on this thread where the commenter said IVMs don't have seat belts and automatic transmission. Someone will just wake up one morning and decide on embarrass himself publicly.

Akathriel:


You're a brain-dead nematode not only for thinking I'm running down IVM, but also for daring to compare Chinese sub-standard products to German machines.

Maybe if Innoson had chosen to do business with Bmw, Benz & Audi instead of GAC, I just might have considered trying out his products.

No bastard can ever blackmail me into buying any fake chinese copy-cat models. If it ain't Bmw, Benz, Audi & VW - then count me out!

Picture 1: Chinese GAC G5

Picture 2: Innoson G5

Now, tell me the difference!

That is how u will keep bn a slave to foreign rules ND products..slavery is in our blood

Sunymoore:


Seriously? I mean Seriously? When last were you on the road?

Not recently. But last I heard the contract was abandoned. When was it constructed?

You don't know these guys? The only thing that drives them is hate and wickedness..because the brand is from a part of the country they so much love to hate that is why they're foaming and frothing with so much bile against the brand..if it was their region, they would have gone on overdrive with praise singing and baseless propaganda...fvcking arsewipe!

It was restored with the coming of Bubu.

Akathriel:


Tell me, what brand is your present car? I sure say e no go pass kia rio or elantra or any of those useless japanese bicycles. Dem no born you well make you discard your present car for IVM if na Bmw, Benz or Audi you dey drive.

The only way I can use my money to buy IVM is if the company will dash me €3Million along with the useless car. I'm sorry, but it's called "choice" bro!

I wonder is you truely have sense, you are one of nigeria problem

Sunymoore:
...., 'may be na 2017 model we dey drive sef'.. I determined the speed of the vehicle using GPS and it was within 120-140 KM/H, what prompted me to check the speed was how we were busy dusting similar vehicles and even one Lexus Lx 450 ..
Overall, the car was stable, and the journey was smooth.. After hitting the state capital, I signaled the driver to drop me, which he did, when I was about getting my stuff from the vehicle, I saw IVM and made in Nigeria tag on car.. I was so amaze and felt proud as a black man.. I then got my stuffs and took my way..

Nigeria with 80Giga watts will surely see industrialization in our life time.

Favourable economic policies will encourage the likes IVM to triumph

Buy Naija to grow naija.. Enough said..

This should be the first.. Elect good leaders people...

@bolded, how did you do that?

one things with Nigerians is that we are all so gullible, there is nothing like a made in Nigerian or Nigerian vehicle you are all just being deceived what is done is we import Chinese cars and re brand theme here with innosen logos to attract you to purchase those vehicles with the "made in Nigerian factor" thats all pleases wakeup.

You mean slaughter?

Corrinthians:
If only we can increase our patronage of our local products and stop overdependence on the Toyotas and Benzs of this world, IVM, even with our domestic market potential alone, would break boundaries in no time.

First off, I wish the government can make a law that forbids governments at all levels from buying any foreign made cars. I mean, why should our public office holders be cruising around with all manner of over expensive automobiles when we have our own products they can patronise from North to East to South West?

There's a mighty lot that needs to change in this country and from all indications, our policy makers have been sleeping on deck since the sixties!

this is the reason why some people should be banned permanently from partaking in politics.

the op isn't so bad, but some of his die hard followers that will stop @ nothing but to force us to use ivm.... they will even ban sea and air imports of vehicles if given an opportunity and place a SOS order on those found driving post 2010 foreign vehicles in the country.... then detain the pre 2010 vehicle owners.

the Nigerian market is big enough for even 100 vehicle manufacturers to thrive.... what will determine the market share of those that will prevail?

Unique Selling Point.

this is the one thing that most foreign manufacturers don't joke with. they understand their strength and utilize it effectively ....even when they want to sway a bit, they don't mass produce the cars that the specs try to meet another manufacturer USP specs.

name the brand, and go online.... u will see why they are still in the biz and thriving.... they have a unique selling point.

German machines are widely known for their rugged engines and quality build...... mpgs and maintenance on the other hand..... not so trendy.

Japanese/Korean..... wide range of luxury coupled with budget-maintenance-user-pocket friendliness....

French nko.... they have their own unique selling point.

IVM, what is their unique selling point people?
is it build quality (tensile strength, ratio of steel and impurities in the body framework, electrical structure etc) ? is it durability( the vehicle's look and feel after 10yrs of constant usage etc) ? ruggedity nko( how well does the vehicle thrive in constant rugged terrain, abuse from mechanics etc), reliability (how reliable are the setups, can someone boast of using 100 vehicles of that brand to run 10000miles each without any major breakdown), Pocket friendliness (how much is the cost of acquisition, recurring maintenance parts), the Nigerian favorite... MPG (how many miles can the full tank carry comfortably both city and highway), safety (haaaa this one I no even know wetin to talk here... SRS) .. etc they need to find their spark and focus on it.

IMHO, ivm should find another unique selling point other than "it is assembled/manufactured in Nigeria"

nobody likes the country sef to start with!!!

Are you in Nigeria?

Automobile companies is a national asset in world power countries. In Nigeria a potential boost in economy will be degraded to the lowest provided its not from a desirable tribe

Too harsh for me to comprehend.

I don't think one can objectively critic the IVM brand without at least giving it a try. Most of the negative comments here are based on assumptions and prejudiced mindsets. I would rather wait until I drive one before giving a verdict.

Plus, some of the comparisons to certain brands here make no sense. There are premium brands, intermediate brands and low end brands, and they all have their place as long as certain basic standards are met.

Chai, I didn't want to go there. Thanks for helping out.

Almost 4 months post and it just hit FP Mods make una de pick poster call sharpaly.

120/140km/h and you didn't tell the driver to slow down to 80 or 100km/h


Hmm.

alezzy13:

@bolded how did you do that?

Search for GPS Speedometer on Google play store

chaiiiiiiii...

one thing is certain: if u choose to "slutter" ignorance ignorantly on any "alter", be very aware that the "soller" system will ensure u remain under the "rader"

wow wonderful.

Lol

It's a brand new vehicle what do u expect

wrong, one can easily criticize any brand when the specs are available and consumer reviews are also accessible....

have u driven a Porsche cayenne before, but u can go online and see specs and compare with other cars in its category to enable one make informed decisions and arguments........


I Ask again.

what is the unique selling point of the IVM? let someone who feels he is authoritative in that field just bring it to the table for analysis!

someone said government officials should be banned from driving foreign cars.......

we don't need to ban them or force them or anything if the brand can comfortably compete with others in its class.

even the ivm vehicles I see politicians use in the south, the durability isn't there......

bring a 10yr old foreign vehicle and a 1yr old ivm, park them in a parking lot and lock it..... come back 2yrs after and check the extent of degradation both must have undergone...... or u look @ consumer reviews for data... and when I mean reviews I don't mean PR or paid reviews... I mean valid consumer reviews.....

have u ever heard of IVM recall? is it that they don't encounter manufacturer spec defects? but there is a salient Nigerian factor in the production process that ensures this kind of structure does not come to fruition

What's wrong with you?

King44:
Nigerians na get problem, seen is believing why don't you guys chill and experienced a ride from new ivm and other brands that are new then spot the difference... At this point I notice most nairalanders are hypocrite, if they don't have bananas they will start crying and requesting for bananas, give them bananas they will reject and start requesting for oranges... I carry nyansh for una... Besides I will like to take a ride in one of those iVM busses someday more growth and distribution

U nailed it, honestly nigeria can't progress with this current crop of citizens always the pessimist in everything about there country maybe another generation will get us there but not this generation. SmH

Before you "slutter" safety, why not go and improve on your grammar.
Mr. slutter.

Akathriel:


Why put all this energy into defending IVM at all cost if you're not working for IVM?

That my first comment is now hidden shows exactly what this thread is really about - "Aggressive PR for IVM" but unfortunately for you & your supervisors, no matter how hard you try, it's German machines for me or nothing!

You need to do away with this kind of mentality, the fact that someone is saying something good about a company doesn't mean he or she is working for the company, do you even buy things online? If you do i believe reviews are one of the criteria you use before buying something from a particular store.

Change your perception.

Guy most Nigerians that use BMW, Benz n Audi are mostly second hand and keep dates with mechanic.
How many Nigerians can afford new Benz.
Just went with a senior friend to obtain a tokumbo RX350 benze 012 for about 5m. He's already keeping dates with mechanics.
And I'm sure his brand new Kia will eventually serve him better for normal city runs without maintenance trips
If IVM is better than Kia n Hyundai that's a big plus plus for them jare
