Eddee: The insult, bruh. Bugatti makes the greatest cars on this planet, no one can tell me otherwise. Wtf, who else has the guts to put an 8.0L W16 quad-turbo engine in a car? And the interior of the car is perfectly sculpted. Pagani comes close but they don't even make their engines, so I don't count them as a proper automaker. 3 Likes

joungblood: Lol, even a Nigerian used 2012 Evoque goes for over 6m. I've told you this before: Your budget isn't high enough, you'd be better off looking at attainable cars, lest you end up buying something you'll regret. 1 Like |

Myth: American cars like the Camaro or Mustang are expensive, exotic cars. Fact: False. American performance cars have traditionally been about value for money. As much horsepower for as cheap as possible. Usually this comes at the expense of chassis engineering, interior quality, build quality, etc. The current-gen Camaro and Corvette are an anomaly chassis-wise. The Camaro in particular keeps up with Porsche's offerings in the segment like the Cayman GT4 on the track. Excellent chassis. Interior is still crap, though. Back to price, a brand new 4 cylinder Camaro actually costs about the same as a 4 cylinder Camry. So why is it that a 2018 Camry costs about 10m, but a dealers will try to sell a 2018 base Camaro for up to 15m? In fact, a fully loaded 2012 Camry isn't more than 4.5m, but a 2012 Camaro V6 will be priced at 7m+? It's a major scam in the Nigerian auto market. Attached: Prices of brand new MSRP, Prices of used cars of the same year in similar condition.

Peppermintflav: I've literally never heard anyone say that. Bugatti makes grand tourers for top speed, not 0-60. With that in mind, a Chiron still does 0-60 in like 2.6 seconds and the quarter mile in less than 10s. The thing is, at that point, the Chiron is just getting started, since it'll go on to do over 270 MPH, which none of those cars you listed can even dream of. 1 Like |

KingAzubuike: This is a whole lot of nonsense. I guess you're talking about the Hyundai Genesis. Go sit down in an S Class of the same year and give me your report. That said, Audi and BMW actually do certain things better than Mercedes. Audi has better build quality, BMW has better performance. Mercedes manages to merge the two effectively but doesn't do it as well. |

Kingdemu: Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired. Instead of trying to buy a 2010+ RX350 for 4m, he'd be much better off buying a toks MDX. And yes, like it or not, the MDX is a better car than the RX350. And it's even way cheaper. 3 Likes |

miketayo: Blatantly false. An M5 absolutely smashes the E63s. Ditto an RS5 and C63s. The AMG GT line is excellent, though. Mclaren does not use a Mercedes engine, I'm not sure what you're talking about. It's Aston Martin that uses the Mercedes 4.0TT. |

Philadelphia: Actually, Pontiac was an enthusiast brand and made plenty of fast cars in that time period. Obviously a fast car in the 80's wouldn't be considered fast now. 1 Like |

Bad idea. Sell the car and buy another one. I'm more surprised that a 2015 Camry doesn't have push button start, though. 1 Like |

Eddee: Lmao, you wan dey whine full NL goodysb: Personally, I wouldn't use more than 3-4 months of income on a car purchase. So, I'd say your budget shouldn't be more than 3-3.5m. Look at: - 2006+ Lexus GS - 2008 Lexus ES - 2009 Acura TL - 2007 RX350 - 2008 Acura MDX - 2008 C300 Personally, of all those cars, I'd probably buy a GS or a TL. Enjoy. 4 Likes |
