Imagine hating someone driving a Zhouching mini bus. cheesy

I can't envy you. Sorry.

If I want to drive German I buy a real BMW or Volks (Audi, Porsche or even Bentley if I want to be extravagant) not some Chinese knockoff with 4matic AMG Brabus gimmick names.

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


Bros grow up... Honda outsells Lamborghini, rolls Royce, Bugatti and even BMW.... So what are you saying again

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.

You get time. For them

The craze for Mercedes Benz in this part of the world is extremely alarming. I thought I've heard it all not until someone was comparing Benz to BMW and Audi. There are cars and there are cars. BMW and Audi belong to a class of their own, benz doesn't come close.

Mercedes Benz is a better owner's car while BMW is a better driver's car. The difference of how much better the BMW is to drive over Mercedes Benz is negligible in current times but the tech Mercedes Benz packs in, by any means, is not“negligible”.

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.

If it were the good old days, there would have been a definite answer, but things have changed now.

Both of these automakers are at the top of their game. Both of these brands offer tech that's yet to be seen in other manufacturer’s vehicles (with the exception of Audi, which stands in the competition).

So instead of trying to state which is better, I'll illuminate the unique features of both the brands along with their design ethos.

BMW
This Bavarian car maker started out to make the best driver's cars. Their tagline states “The ultimate driving machine” to this day and with good reason. The Brand's emphasis has always been on the driving experience. The fine tuning of the chassis, the supple yet sporty suspension setups along with aggressive looking body work are all a typical BMW affair


That's the 2016 BMW 320d. A classic example of typical BMW design.

The interiors are premium, but are just not at the level of Mercedes Benz. This is more evident when you look at the 3-series (F30) and the C-Class (w205).


The interiors of the 2017 BMW 7-series “Individual”. This competes with the Mercedes Maybach s600. You think this is nice ?


Check out it’s competition. The interiors of a Mercedes Maybach s600 sedan.

The design is much sportier to accentuate the appeal of a driver's car.


A regular BMW 320d with the “M”-sport package.

The lines are sharp with the design more angular than Mercedes Benz. Recently, BMW took shine to the new “Layered design” philosophy that received mixed reactions.

BMW’s “M” division made some of the best driver's cars in the past, however, that's not the case anymore.


With the exception of the M2, the cars have grown heavier with the downsizing of the engines and the addition of a turbocharger that resulted in more lag than top end performance.

You're right about the Mercedes Benz been a owners car. The BMW moves too aggressively for my liking

Personally I feel these cars have philosophy behind the brands

BMW is designed for tarmac, I mean it is more of a racing or does cars with little emphasis on luxury

Benz is more of a luxury than a racing car... They try to pamper driver

As of Audi, I can't place it... I just hate that brand.... Maybe because I was in benin am they made a mess of that brand.. they still drive Benz there

The Audi you usually see in Benin are Audi 80, which of cause, is basically used for transportation and not necessarily a luxury car. You can't really judge Audi brands based on that.

I recommend mobil 1 or the other mobil because it's a 2006 year and it's 14 years old... But either mobil 1 or the other mobil .. ensure that you buy it at mobil stations and as for your gear, use star oil (Mercedes oil )

If you want us to compare luxury then we can compare AMG, Brabus or maybach with the best of Audi

Right ?
