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

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.

ChiefAzubuike:


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

NewDelhi:

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.

enijoshez:
@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.

innobets:
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..

coolcatty:


Exactly...abuse is the bane of VW.

I remember using those itire guys..omoh..they spoilt my car tire..till i discovered one guy that works with stallion motors...my life changed for the better...these days, i rather spend thousands in stallion fixing it with professionals than saving money patronizing all these roadside quacks.

That car is grossly under-rated...its a beast and monster mixed in one.

coolcatty:
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

Why would you have a DVD player in a 2018 ride? You shot yourself in the foot

No too blame am...buhari has messed up our currency to the extent people think that a car of $30k is a luxury item...

ChiefAzubuike:

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.

SureBETarena:
I have 2011 A6 and 2012 CC and yes both are no where close to E63 AMG, I dont want to even compare the CC to CL550 yet those two are average Benz.

ChiefAzubuike:

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.

ChiefAzubuike:


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.

globemoney:

Mercedes Mayback is one of the highest Luxury cars in the world. When it comes to cars, it’s Mercedes and others
