I mean there are so many car brands out there. I mean exotic car brands Benz can't even compete with asides maybe the latest wagon models. But why is there the sudden craze for Benz ? A car you can't even mention where you say dodge, koenigsegg , Lamborghini, maseratti, Aston Martin etc. Those ones are in a class of their own, let me call them category one. category 2 then we call the likes of Chrysler, Porsche etc. Then category 3 maybe we can call whatever Benz model alongside models like Lexus and Hyundai.

It makes me remember the blackberry craze of those years and the way they swept the African brain aside. Every nigerian thought literally believed blackberry was the best thing in the world.

Buy one....you'll know the answer. No be by mouth

I used the C300 model two years ago. I sold it. Around march this year. There are so many car brands/model I'd die for.

...cos there are two brands of cars in the world-Benz and the rest.

"If we no drive the Benz na wetyn we gain?" If you remember that line in a recent hit song you'd probably not be asking this question.

Moreover it is just a timely reminder of how powerful adverts could be on its targeted audience.

#TooMuchSense no go keel me.

pls stop it.. what do you mean by placing a Benz with a Hyundai? Pls they re in two different classes of their own and the C300 you used is still to me one if the under powered ones... If I'm to use a Benz that'd satisfy me in all ramifications, I'd start with a 350 of any of the classes.

The other cars you mentioned are in a class of their own entirely while a Benz is in its own lane with the likes of Audi, BMW, VW depending in the classes. Don't also forget that Mercedes has a class for every class of car out there be it Rolls Royce, Ferrari or what have you in the embodiment of Maybach to be in par with Rolls or easily compared, Mercedes GTS to easily be compared with Ferraris, and other super cars, and A, B, C, E and a few other classes to be on par with other cars in almost same league with them. There is a lot about Mercedes that you do not know but let's stop here...

I know you'd want to lash back for saying Maybach can’t be compared to a Rolls Royce but I'll tell you this, a rolls is just too much hype and self glorification... Tear both the Rolls-Royce and the Maybach down piece by piece and you'll see how alike they are..

OK bye...

Comparing Hyundai with Benz!
Ha, laye mi!

If I talk to you now, you would drive that your useless Hyundai to Third Mainland and jump inside water.

Here is Benz versus Porsche here in Abuja. The Benz killed the Porsche like Fayose cutting ponmo.

OP which Hyundai are you comparing with Benz.. Is it Hyundai sonata or Hyundai Santa Fe..

It's an insult to compare Benz with a car brand that the 2018 model can't even boost of having ordinary DVD.
Hyundai interior and dashboard can never be compared with Benz..

Benz is Benz

May you keep using that Hyundai and never use a Benz.

Amen.

@OP, I think some of us can pardon your ignorance seeing that you actually don't know about cars. If you do, the way you jam packed supercar brands, luxury brands and economy brands, you won't try it.

How do you put Chrysler and Porsche in same line and sentence, how can you call Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai in same sentence, how can you merge Dodge with koenigsegg and Lamborghini in the same class.??

I advise you to go and learn a few things about cars and brands first. When you are done with that, I assure you that then and then only would you know why the sudden craze of Benz has taken place in Nigeria at this time.

Sorry but I've also been wondering like the OP. The sudden hype and boom of Benz in Nigeria is confusing. Just like the op said, it can be likened to the blackberry phones fever between 2009-2014. Benz is not a luxury car brand please. Its an economy car. I'll gladly rate cars like 2018 ford fusion , Hyundai equus, Mazda 6 2018 above most models of your beloved benz. It's a good car brand no doubt. But the overhype na die. Suddenly everybody dey shout Benz for their music. Go to Europe and america nobody even knows what is Benz. Innobets I sight u
.. U wan buy Benz too?

Benz na for economy class. Its for people who can't afford luxury but want something 30% close to luxury.

And You didn't enjoy d C300?

When I say Lexus, I'm talking of models like you can see below. First is a sedan, second na SUV.

The car is just there. If you drive that kind of thing in a supercar city like Dubai, London , Los Angeles, or newyork, nobody go look your side.

Op how can you compare benz with chrysler and dodge. Keonigsegg, lambo and ferrari are all super cars model. Lexus and hyundai no where near benz. You put benz with same category as audi, bmw, land rover, jaguar, aston martin etc. hyundai, toyota, kia, lexus, mazda , honda dey there own class

Is your topic about your fantasy or what is obtainable on Nigerian roads?

Comparing 2010 Benz with 2018 of other brands is a testament to the build.

Why does Buhari use a Benz & not Hyundai?

Lol somebody said go to Europe and America nobody knows what is Benz

Nigerians are original follow-follow....they hardly research..all they do is follow follow..

I drive a VW passat CC..that car is a million times better than any benz but the average Nigerian will rather opt for a benz than a VW.

Different strokes sha

At least someone thinking like me.

Some of them will even be driving that 4matic series or e or c class and still be making noise. The brand is good no doubt but its overhyped to the extent that Nigerians even tag it as a luxury/exotic car. We go even first mention Audi, BMW , ford etc before you mention any Benz.

Americans are mostly poor and tasteless,hence you don't get to see a lot of Mercedes cars there.They love their cheap,ugly,roomy cars.
Now Europe?you say wetin?nobody knows about benz?
Please learn to talk about what you know!thanks
