No, it's stupid af to say that Mercedes Benz isn't in the same league as Audi and BMW. By what metric, exactly?

Mercedes outsells them, has considerably better sporting heritage, and has the most luxury. BMW does make better drivers' cars, but that's about it. I don't even see anything Audi is the best at, people who like Audi just like it.

Btw, I like all three brands, and have actively cross-shopped them when purchasing cars. You can say one is better than the other at a particular thing, but saying that Mercedes is a tier below the other two is just absolutely stupid, and no data supports that.

People are entitled to their opinions, and others are also entitled to point out how moronic those opinions are. There are opinions, and then there are facts. That statement is an opinion at best, and a pretty nonsensical one at that.

I do agree that the Mercedes craze is alarming, though.
Honda outsells Benzedes by more than 2 times, is mostly driven by men of prestige (not yahoo criminals and scammers) and the least trim of Honda Civic is stronger and more reliable than the highest, costliest level of Maybach Brabus Sclass 4matic Airmatic blah blah blah.

Honda > Benzedes.

Case closed. wink

Headlight technology grin. Most of the recent innovations were pioneered by Audi. From what I read sometime ago, this popular LED turn signal that moves from left to right( or is it right to left) was also pioneered by Audi.

Their quattro system is arguably the best in the industry

Mercedes has the most luxury but doesn't have the best luxury between the 3 if u ask me. Oboy Audi na die o kagani. There are some Audi models you can compare to the likes of koeniggsegg but same can't be said for Benz. The craze in this part of the world is truly alarming tho just like the way blackberry phones was in naija back then, it's same with Benz. I even remember there was a period when range Rover was seen as the biggest thing here, then Toyota venza took over and then Benz. I blame these Yahoo boys and our musicians for the craze tho. Everyone has his opinion.

Abeg I know we all love Benz in this part of the world where the hype is alarming .. that's why people can hardly talk about Benz without being sentimental. Biko Audi and BMW are superior to Mercedes Benz . Them no dey the same level. Compare Benz to the likes of Lexus and maybe hyundai.

Audi having better luxury than a Merc is very subjective. I don't think that's true. What I'll agree with is that Audi knows how to put together a more "executive" interior. Very good design language.

Koenigseggs aren't known for luxury.

And yeah, I suppose. Range Rover had its time in the spotlight a while ago, but we don't seem them much these days. Probably because they're generally complete pieces of shite in terms of reliability.

Yes, definitely. Audi completely redefined the headlight game, no doubt.

I don't think Quattro is the best AWD system in the world. For canyon-carving performance, Acura's SH-AWD was doing torque vectoring before Audi adopted it. For terrain trasversing (snow, mud), Subaru should be king. For sheer drag launching, Nissan's ATESSA system on the GTR is also way ahead.

My brother, I laughed while reading your comment.
Well, you have spoken your opinion and have made your point.

From my perspective, your points are reasonable and doesn't seem opinionated.

Hi, Mercedes Benz owners and specialists...
I got a 2010 c300.(w204)..vehicle was containerized and the auction site regarded it as 'run and drive'...even tho, a search on the Vin history showed 'engine damage(water)'. After getting the car outta the container, the tagged 'run and drive' vehicle refused to start. I had to have it towed to a mechanic's workshop. Now, the mechanic says it's best I change the engine..
I'd love to know how much the engine costs...both the full engine and the one without the alternator, kick starter, injector nozzles etc. i.e Borale. Thanks.

Dude you bought a flooded car and the best thing is but engine and gear and trust me you rally need to do a lot of rewiring ....water has messed the engine up


Why buy a flooded car?
