I tell you bro, that tesla cars are something else, very smooth and classy
Mercedes will allow them grow a bit more, then purchase Tesla in future, Elon Musk will cash out, & probably pay more attention to his space x project of trying to go and live on the moon.

@ acri honestly instill don't know what's luxury about Benz. Maybe you don't know the meaning of luxury. That's how one was comparing Benz to Audi lol as if Audi na Benz mate.
FINALLY I MET SOMEONE ENLIGHTENED ABOUT CARS,
AUDI IS BIGGER THAN BENZ, BUT BENZ FANATICS WON'T AGREE.
AUDI IS IN THE CLASS OF SUPERCARS, JUST LIKE PORSCHE, DODGE AND CHRYSLER ETC.

Moreover most of these foreign manufacturers know alot of Nigerians love luxury but can't afford it. They know Nigerians love premium luxury but they don't have the money so what they do is give you something a little close to luxury. That's the case with Benz, it's an economy class luxury.

Benz is an economy class luxury? You have no idea of what you are talking about.

Sometimes ago, a nairalander compared the sudden madness for Benz cars to the madness Nigerians had for blackberry between 2007 and 2013. He was bashed , insulted and bruised. He was right afterall, it was the Yahoo boys and street musicians that made Benz so popular. It was so bad a particular nairalander was even comparing a Benz model to the rolls Royce wriath.

There was a time Range Rover was the reigning thing, Benz took over and Toyota venza came into the limelight briefly. Now it's Lexus. Which will be next?
benz has been there since 1970s.... Lexus is a rebadge Toyota

@v2 I tire for them lol and the funniest thing is that some or most of them have never own, currently own a Benz yet you'll see them coming online to hype the car like there's no tomorrow. The craze for this thing is very similar to the blackberry craze of years back. It will gradually fade and something else will begin to reign before that one fades too

You know another another funny thing, alot of die hard fans of Benz are mostly youths and younglings who have zero taste and money. Older people have greater taste and you'll never see them with a Benz .



I don't blame you , u go see better s class 5-7 M. Benz no cost, na poor man's luxury. Even Lexus have models worth over 200-300M so what are you saying? That Lexus model wey ochacho gift davido is worth almost a hundred.

What Lexus model is worth over 100 million so Abeg I Wan know.

I don't think the poster is comparing Lexus to Mercedes-Benz in terms of class, quality and durability but in terms of how we reason and accept cars.
At least in Abia and Imo state, Lexus is the focus now.
You know Benz, BMW, Rolls Royce, Bugatti etc stand on a class of their own, but when it comes to our naija common car acceptance, Lexus with its latest design is fast becoming another hot cake.

Well, I think he is comparing & trying to prove d superiority of Lexus over Benz. But in trying to do so, d guy has made some blunders in his remarks that have taken d shine out of whatever he was trying to do. For instance he said:

"It was the Yahoo boys and street musicians that made Benz so popular"

It is inability to afford a Benz that makes you buy a Lexus. It is small yahoo boys who buy Lexuses. Once you have proper money, you use a Benz.

So, you mean everyone with "proper money" all got benz?

This is why this country can't move forward, he wrote that lexus is now gaining more popularity than benz,

now some people didn't even bother reading the post to comprehend what is written there. They start raining insults on one another.

The writer was never comparing the two cars, all he was saying is lexus is taking over popularity just like mercedes 190,Vboot etc was popular in the 90s/early 2000 before Toyota camry took over.

No jokes, alot of these Benz fanatics know nothing about the ride. They will begin to sweat when you ask them about the brake horse power, engine type, abs system, brake rotor diameter, steering type, suspension type, dual stage driving, emergency braking, torque and like 50 more specs I can't even remember.

Before you can say a car is better than another, these are the things you need to consider not just brand name. Those Benz fans are so terrible one was even placing Benz and BMW in the same category.
