Oops I think I del.IOK fixing it

I think Toyota values Crown over Lexus.

 

[maiaramdan]

Honestly not only Toyota, me also
Crown is Toyota, it was the first international name under Toyota with the Land Cruiser and Corolla, those 3 are the main core

I also think Crown stands in between Century and Lexus flagship.

I have also found on youtube a second (?) GRMN Century with a license plate. It was displayed at Tokyo Auto Saloon


This is not an ordinary plate. It looks like a teasing!
Because, the number 1867 is not deliberately unplanned!
It is the year Japan opened up its sights to the West.
What do you think? Maybe some pieces of this machine might end up overseas?

 

[maiaramdan]

wow
It's amazing , I got lost in dreams while watching it

A super lux. For driving!

Isn't 1867 the year Sakichi Toyoda was born? The original 1967 Century was named to commemorate this. This here shouldn't be much different.

The Black Ships arrived in 1853, and the Meiji restoration started in 1868. I don't see how this is related to bringing the Century overseas.

Yes, this is, precisely, the origin of the Toyota Century badge, per Wikipedia. I did not know this until you pointed it out, though.

The Toyota Global Newsroom has just posted detailed information on the master craftsmanship behind "Japan's only chauffeur-driven car". One of the details that stuck out at me was that the highly detailed Lexus LFA "build history books" filled with "evidence sheets" once described by Bertel Schmitt in fact were inspired by practices that commenced with the 2nd-generation Toyota Century in 1997. Here's the link:

One-Off Toyota Century Convertible Is Fit For An Emperor

The Toyota Century is closely associated with Japanese royalty and it appears the company has made a one-off convertible in honor of the new emperor’s coronation ceremony on October 22nd.

According to Japanese Nostalgic Car, the model is officially called the “royal parade car” and will be used to transport Emperor Naruhito on a 2.9 mile (4.6 km) route through the streets of Tokyo to the Akasaka Palace.

It looks amazing.

Pure luxury definition

 

[Ian Schmidt]

Gorgeous. It also looks like it flux capacitor'd right out of 1985, but that works in this instance.

it looks awesome, but you would probably be dissapointed by it... it is built for JDM, not world.

 

[maiaramdan]

I drove the previous generation Century the V12 and I was astonished of its fit & finish although the handling and the road feeling

 

[Ian Schmidt]

To be honest, that body kit accentuates the "late 80s GM product" vibe that I get from the Century's exterior. I prefer the stock car in this case.

Agreed, Lexus should bring this over and have it be an ultra luxury sedan above the LS...

 

[Will1991]

Almost every single day we're around here requesting to Lexus be more special than a "improved" Toyota and now we're requesting a Century rebadge ahahah

Also, I'm not seeing how Lexus would sell this... As direct competition for Rolls Royce and Bentley?

 

[maiaramdan]

Century shall have the same name even if it's exported as Lexus, but it shall be lexus century

 

[CRSKTN]

"Lexus Century" is an awesome name for a car.

I personally really like the idea of models having names and not model designation e.g. RX, or at least for certain, special models.

 

[Ian Schmidt]

I think in the US people would negatively associate that with the Buick Century, but maybe I'm underestimating the auto-buying public.
