Mercedes is a luxury brand while Toyota is not. The is no comparison between the two.
Even if you want to compare, Lexus would be the close rival

Mercedes made it clear from the beginning that their cars are not meant for everyone. The two brands are years away from eachother

Mr stop lying. Mercedes never said such.

Worthless thread!

These threads are springing up everyday now and it's high time people stick to what they know and want. Don't Foist your opinion on someone else. But while at it make una know say na poor man when no fit afford beer nai talk say e dey bitter.

Please @op you can also probably enlighten us on how many units Rolls-Royce and Bentley sold for the year in question since being the best car brand out there now hinges at the total quantity sold!
Please tell the Toyota fans that. Check the Benz thread and see the last few pages what they have been doing....

Let me answer u with this analogy is Iphone a better company than teckno or huawei? Exactly grin

Benz runs a different production and financial strategy to toyota and they both make good profits so a coy isn’t better just becos its into mass production cars alone. Many factors are at play here.

grin it is laziness or petty to compare two separate companies that are trying to sell their products... But it all depends on choice and experience, I have used toyota which was very cool but when I got hold of Benz, I knew I will never let go of this people
Check the last few pages of the Benz thread. You'll understand the essence of this comparison.

You make me laugh.
Take Benz 190 for example.
The car was made around 1985 and you still see it today. No car was ever made by Toyota that is as reliable and durable as that car in my opinion.
i still see 1985 Toyota carina

I don't think it's wise to compare the two, one is mainly exotic, while the other is mainly utility.


OP, try reselling a 2yr old Benz, and a 5yr old Toyota, you might get a clearer view of your answer

2 year old Benz what and a 5 year old Toyota what? Many of you just hinge your Toyota love on the corolla and camry! The brand goes beyond those two sugar boxes!

Listen if I were in the market for a car, there are a lot of things I'll consider before settling for one but most of you will probably not understand! Fuel economy and cheap parts(which is actually debatable) is not the only thing to look out for when getting a car.

A friend who owns a 1996 W202 has literally tortured the living light from that car but that car still runs Enugu to Abuja in 5 hours with one touch kick that's after about 4 years of use now. The motor no dey die e no dey disturb! You can't compare it's suspension to even a 2009 camry or corolla and you know the funny thing, it's fuel economy is like a corolla's. Heck a 2013 C300 V6 conserves fuel like or even better than a V4 2010 Camry and these are not wild claims. They are things we tested by ourselves!

Guy's there is more to buying a car. Security for one, safety and all! How many of Toyota cars have successfully passed a moose test in flying colors? See me trying to avoid a pothole with speeds of about 80Km/h on my friend's camry xle the other day and the instability of the car hmmm. Long story cut short, I burst a Tyre because the car simply refused to adhere to the angle I was aiming it to drive through. It drifted and I hit the potholes jagged edge squarely; but that's something I do effortlessly with a C300 even a W202!

I don't even need to banter them because if they can dare troll Mercedes Benz cars on issues of reliability, I wonder what Range Rover owners would do Lol!

I know people who have used their E350s for more than 3 years now and they've not even changed shock absorber. But my friend who owns a Camry, bought about the same year with the other Benz owners can't even remember how many times he's changed his.

So even if people say a Toyota is more reliable, I still won't choose a Toyota over a Benz because every other thing in the Benz Trumps the Toyota by a thousand years!

The problem is that people tend to think Mercedes Benz makes only cars like Toyota.... They forget that Marco Polo luxurious buses, trucks which are die hard vehicles and second to none in reliability are also signature makes of Mercedes Benz.


Even Lexus was a pure plagiarism of the Mercedes Benz.

Yes some brands of Mercedes Benz has issues....but true the Toyota Camry muscle is plagued with a factory error of oil consumption that is incurable!! The Camry muscle melting dashboards, the Camry muscle independent acceleration without the input of the driver....

I can go on and on... The Toyota Corolla is no match for the Mercedes Benz W202 C klasse... In any form..the W202 C klasse wins ...
A. Fuel economy tie.
B. Thieves follow the Toyota Corolla
C. Parts replacement is waayyy cheaper on the Mercedes W202...

No, Toyota is not better than Mercedes, and anyone who claims that is delusional.

Finally the Mercedes Benz Maybach is something no Toyota/Lexus can ever compete with in triple lifetimes!!


Mercedes= iPhone
Toyota=Tecno/Infinix

End of discussion.

You know I have always been wondering if Lexus was a subsidiary brand of Mercedes but you actually addressed what they are to Mercedes. Nice.

I think the only edge Mercedes has over Toyota is durability, but who cares? Who prays to use a car that long like the case of Benz 190?

You likened Mercedes-Toyota to Iphone-Infinix/Tecno? That is a joke, the difference ain't that much.

Our in-law the statement is fact. Did you know that the Mercedes Benz has a more luxurious arm called the Mercedes Maybach?

Pawon on overdrive.
In fact I tried to boost the ego of Toyota owners by comparing them with Tecno Infinix....
