Cars That Ruled Nigeria In The Past: Which of Them Was Your Favourite?

Today, it is the Toyota Corollas, Honda Civics, KIA brands, Lexus, Hyundai, etc.

It was not always like so. Prior to the current dispensation, in Nigeria, other car brands reigned supreme. They were the popular cars of choice.

While some of these car brands series evolved and stood the test of time, some others simply faded out of attention due to their inability to withstand competition or perhaps bad business management on the part of the manufacturers.
