Nigerians sef Someone asks which is a better company between the two and many are talking about Mercedes been better because it's more luxurious. The question is which is a better company, not which produces better cars. The purpose of a company is to produce profit for it's shareholders. So the better company is the one that produces better profit for shareholders. In 2019, Toyota had an annual revenue of $270.9Bn and a profit of $22.3Bn. Profit represented 8.23% of revenue In the same year, Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes, posted a revenue of $181Bn with a profit of $2.9Bn. Profit reperesnted 1.6% of revenue. From this, it's very clear Daimler (Mercedes) is a struggling company and Toyota is the far better company offering far better value to its shareholders. Toyota also has a bigger brand value and market capitalization than Mercedes/Daimler. So you might say Mercedes vehicles are better then Toyota vehicles, but in terms of being a company, Daimler is not Toyota's mate. 15 Likes |

No basis for comparison. Their target markets are different. Mercedes is a luxury brand. Toyota is not. But generally, in terms of reliability, Toyota leads. In terms of performance, Mercedes leads. For a country like Nigeria with extremely bad roads, Mercedes brands are more suitable. Camry, the most popular Toyota brand, is very popular among Nigerians. But I don't think Camry cars are suitable for Nigerian roads; usually too low to the ground, weak suspension. But they are excellent cars in countries with decent roads like the US. In summary, in the US, for everyday driving, I will pick a Toyota brand, preferably a Lexus. In Nigeria, I pick a Mercedes. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Smartchoiice: Toyota has sold more camry's because it is much more cheaper. Toyota is cheaper to buy that's why people mostly buy it. It's a case of money. Most people that buy Toyota's are middle-class and low-income earners. You have to be wealthy to be able to buy a Benz. How much is a brand new 2020 camry? About $27k msrp, and by the time you add all the options, it can't be up to $40k. An equivalent sedan to the camry would be the E-class. Do you know how much a brand new 2020 E-class is? MSRP for a base trim Benz E350 is around $54k, and now if you decide to go up the E-class ladder and get the AMG variants like the E63 AMG, then you're looking at around $110k MSRP alone, not to mention when you start adding options. Mercedes-Benz is not a car for the middle-class or poor. Only the rich can afford to buy it new, and then you talk of maintenance, of course it's more expensive to maintain than Toyota because it has more luxury technology than Toyota. Mercedes-Benz will always be GREATER than Toyota. You can only be comparing the likes of the Land Rover with a Benz. It is mostly poor people and broke-ass people that own Toyota.

Toyota is a far better and more valuable brand. Benz is only for people who wants to have a taste of luxury but can't afford it. Benz is a poor man's luxury. I was utterly shocked when someone was telling me benz is a far better luxury maker than Audi and BMW. Nothing wey man no go hear from these die hard Benz fans. executive12 5 Likes 1 Share |

colestephan86: Reliability is a settled issue. Toyota leads, definitely. Consult the Consumer Reports. On durability and performance, of course Mercedes takes the lead. You are more likely to break down on the road in a Mercedes than in a Toyota. 3 Likes |
