mercedes have had the best drivers coincidentally recently

And it hasn’t always been the case. So quit the lies
Toyota has never won F1 and they are not in the league


Their crappy engines can't withstand the heat

The drivers are the issue here.

thank God you are scared to do your research.

I told you what luxury is. And I have told you an example of a car that has it.

Its left for you to grab knowledge or die in your ignorance. I have proved your ignorance. But you can’t prove my “lies”(-according to you)

do you know toyota sales figures in Europe?

Joker. Why not post the European vehicle sales stats here. In the different categories.

Toyota and volkswagen are the top 2 brands in the world. Don’t carve Europe out of YOUR OWN WORLD
The problem is that you are not getting it...comparing Toyota to Benz is like comparing Seaman Aromatic schnapps with Hennessy or 501

Toyota is a mass market car and it's for commoners

Benz is a niche market car and it's for certain people that's why it commands respect globally


Tomorrow you would say because Toyota is selling billions of car it's better than Aston Martin or Rolls Royce that sells few cars


Niche market cars are luxury cars

Because you drink a lot of pure water in sat hey doesn't make it better than Nestle bottled water

Get the drift and have a great day ...while driving that your kiosk you call a car ...know that it doesn't come with side air bags

You have missed the drift.

Everything was clear from the onset.

Toyota as a company is more bluechip than mercedes . Fact!
Toyota makes mainstream(toyota), luxury(lexus) and ultra luxury(century). Fact.
The difference between toyota mainstream cars and the lexus cars are too evident in every category of class, luxury and refinement. Fact

Nobody would compare mercedes to toyota(I mean the normal toyota mainstream cars) fact.

Lexus had put every player in the luxury business on its toes. Fact

Lexus cars are obviously not toyota(mainstream cars) in disguise. Fact

Literally understanding the topic of this thread would always result in an answer that favours the toyota company. Fact

You have misunderstood the facts. Fact

You have refused to listen and learn. Fact.

A lexus car, similarly priced with a mercedes car would offer options that the mercedes car could only dream of... fact

I am not even disputing anything.
I am just saying the combination of bulletproof, platinum, 2019 and supersport will make the car a mad and very expensive one.

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 think those shouting toyota is better are just people that want to get from point A to point B at 60kmph, no more.. Cuz I don't understand how you'd say you want to go fast in this country and you'll say you want a Toyota.

I believe Mercedes is better than Toyota, good and fine.
But what manner of point was that 'that' he gave?? So the reason he uses MB is because he wants to drive at 200KmpH and other brands can't do this?

BMW does it better than the Mercedes Benz.

Your problem is that you think just because you managed to spend all your money on an outdated range rover and convert it, and that you manage to live in the UK, you are suddenly better than everybody else.

Not all of us here like to show off, but I guarantee you that your entire net worth does not even come close to that of some people on this thread.

But keep showing off and showing yourself, congratulations to you.

You are a man, it's easier to know and understand the mechanical and technical components of a car and it's faults.
I still insist my Kazeem didn't cheat me sha, the DC was just a mess. You won't admit to this because of your love for this brand.
I hail thee.
Now you are discriminating yourself.

You can't say your mechanic didn't cheat you. Even I whom you think understand mechanical issues more have fallen prey to Kazeems.

When I was driving my office Toyota Prado, on a fateful Sunday after dedicating my first son in church, the car just died in the middle of the road. I was leading a convoy of friends and family to my house for refreshments, so imagine the embarrassment and the pressure. I locked the car there, called my Kazeem to come collect keys.

He later brought the car, I asked him what was wrong, he refused to tell me specifically, he just told me I owe him 10k. I had guests so I didn't have time to bargain or get to the root of the matter, so I paid him and gave him refreshments.

A year later he confessed that he made a lot of money out of me that particular day. My guess is he didn't even buy any part but charged me 10k for a road side Kazeem who at the time was an apprentice.

It happens, don't be ashamed.

All DC's are not a mess, your particular DC might have been the mess.

Sounds like the Lexus LX570 with all the works. Lovely car, I prefer that to a G Wagon anytime.
