sultaan: Your facts are well noted, man, and can't be faulted. However, almost every major auto-maker in the world today started off this way. Big Japanese manufacturers like Mazda, Honda etc started off in the 1930s effectively as assemblers of British, French and American parts and engines. Therefore African makers can start off this way too however there must be a conscious plan to bring something to the table at some point because you cannot remain in business for too long as an assembler. Recall the 1st Spanish car manufacturer, SEAT? They spent the 1st 25yrs of their existence as a Volkswagen assembler in Toledo before they built the first real Spanish automobile. So IVM and co are not exactly in the wrong direction. We can only wish them well, if they have long term plans. |

Xevioso: There is no such thing as an African car, except you re talking of donkeys and horses. The so called innonsense cars you see are CKDs (Completely Knocked Down) components that are imported from China and assembled in Nigeria. There is no local component in these cars, every thing is shipped from abroad. Anytime your buy that Innonsense, know that you re enriching the economy of another country. |

kaeforum:[size=15pt]ID.IOT!!!![/size] We already know that most of the parts are imported. but trust me, a good number of the parts (especially the rubber components) are manufactured here. talk exactly what u know only. |

obstead200: Theres nio need to insult people on this forum just state your facts, name one company in Nigeria that makes rubber components for cars in Nigeria. becos even rubber foot-mats are imported. The only rubber we have are plastic chairs and buckets, gp tanks Boldness powered by ignorance and anger = stupidity. |

Auto makers do collaborate by branding another car as theirs sometimes with minor sheetmetal changes. Here are some examples you may have seen on the road and some you din't even notice. Original- other clones Before Honda started making their own SUV Pilot, they first sold rebadged Isuzu Rodeo as Honda Passport and Trooper as Acura SLX Toyota Matrix- Pontiac Vibe Ford Fusion -Mazda 6 Ford Focus - Mazda 3 Chrysler town& Country/Dodge Grand Caravan - Volkswagen Routan. I understand the claim of 100% made in Nigeria car being made by Innoson to claim all that government benefit. But for Innoson to use its new found status to push for Government ban on car importation is selfish, and the current forex scarcity is now leaving him exposed to the problems of other importers. Playing the ethnic card to get exclusive govt perks is not the best for long term business plan. The other 'assemblers' who were going to bring in ford and Toyota from South Africa have had to cancel their deals or cut back but the only one with the 100% claim is used for buyNigeria IMVG5 is Gonow G5 http://chinaautoweb.com/2010/12/new-models-from-the-2010-guangzhou-auto-show-5-gac-gonow-aoosed-g5/ http://global.gacgonow.com.cn/ShowRoom/SUV/g5.html One just has to look at 1000s of cars made in Chine to figure out which one is IMV**** or look beyond the physical IMV badge on the car. The G5 image has been photoshopped to snow capped mountains I sometimes wonder where in Jos the pic was taken . It is not cool for any writer to plagiarize but it is ok to label a car built by a chinese company as Nigerian made to make black people feel good. How do you think it will feel to wake up to reality if this goes for too long

It needs to be reliable first next the quality of parts and engineering has to acceptable for mass production. Africa should have competitive luxury brands by 2050. |
