@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.


No jokes, alot of these Benz fanatics know nothing about the ride. All they do is shout Benz or nothing. 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.

Moreover most of them aren't getting my point. I noted Lexus is gradually gaining popularity over Benz and that's true. There was a time infiniti, Murano, muscle, range Rover, venza all reigned. Benz also reigned. Now it looks like it's the time of Lexus.

It's obvious you know little to nothing about cars, especially mercs Benz cheesy, imagine putting a high classy s-class and 5m in the same sentence cheesy

Benz is just Power and Speed but rides like Beamer,Audi and maybe Lexus have a better driving experience than Benz by a mile! Make una no dey overhype things...when last did Mercedes win an Auto Award?? But you see Audi and Beamer,no go there...na for those wey know ...Lexus is considerably gaining grounds considering that it's a relatively new brand it was founded in 1999 I think compared to luxury brands that have been since the 80s

See ehn bros most of them have never even driven or own a Benz but you'll see them shouting Benz or nothing like they own the latest model. Remove brabus , g wagon, nothing dey Benz. There are a ton of brands out there that will give you a better performance for lesser price. Lexus is one of them. Those Benz fans if you ask them weytin be ordinary torque, they don't even know. Benz is a good ride no doubt but the hype in Nigeria is alarming. One of them was even saying Benz is a status of success and money lol so weytin you go now call person wey get Audi or BMW

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?

I guess you are still pretty young (under 20 years). You will not understand the craze around >Mercedes-Benz 190, "V-Boot" and Mercedes "220 and 230 in the early and mid-90s and early 2000s. It was the ultimate symbol of wealth or status or at least higher middle-class status in Nigeria. Nothing dwarfed them... These were the classics.

Kid, firstly me and you no be mates for anything. Secondly get some education , get schooled online. How can you say those nonsense were the symbol of wealth and status? If that's one of the lies your dad fed you with then he is wrong.

Most of you who shout Benz are just kids and youths who know nothing about cars. If I start bombarding you with questions about that v boot now you won't even know. Wake up from your slumber, when last Benz win any international award? Go to the US, it's not even seen as a luxury car. When you have Aston Martin , Ferrari, buggati, koesiggnegg, lykan Audi, BMW etc hitting the streets you go con carry one mumu Benz come say u dey drive luxury too? I really don't blame you people. I blame the Yahoo boys who have made it a symbol of money and a symbol of "I don blow".
