The "Craze" For Benz Is Gradually Fading, Lexus Is Taking Over by NewDelhi(m): 8:30pm On Dec 27, 2020
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?

Lexus is providing luxury for Toyota lovers. But to say it is replacing Benz, I laugh in Sambisa language.

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.

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.

The guy was not comparing lexus with Benz, he was only pointing out that lexus is the popular brand now which is true. Lexus no dey touch ground for this forum especially Nigerian used. They are more affordable and gives the luxury the younger brother toyota will not give.

I myself will be buying a lexus in a couple of days.

Make we understand the guy point of view before the car specialists come bashing.

@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.

Tenshades:


Go learn about cars before you begin dey misfire dey yarn dust here.

No just dey follow crowd.

If I begin ask you about the Torque, suspension, etc details of ur so called Benz here, you go begin run go dey check answers for google.

How much of your car do you know?

grin
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.
