The Century is Toyota's flagship sedan, and if you hang out in the uber-frou-frou Ginza district after business hours the place is crawling with them. The Imperial family has also been known to floss them. The model began life in 1967, has only undergone one redesign ever - in 1997 - and looks exactly the same as it did on day one. The car is so highly regarded and exclusive that Toyota has an entire 5.0L V12 that's used only in this one model. Of course, that doesn't stop the hoons. When we went to visit Top Secret Tuning to do an article on their 1975 Celica, they had a twin-turbo V12 producing 1000hp stuffed into a Supra with an elongated nose. In fact, they had two of them.

95k in us for the 07 model





Cloth seats? WHAT THE FUCK?


"The vehicles interior is usually ordered in wool cloth, not leather, due to the aroma of leather being less desirable and not as quiet as cloth when sat on"

get some class son! Leather is always an option...

Interesting how cloth seats are considered "premium" there as opposed to leather because "it makes less noise" when one sits on them and it smells better, apparently...and the doors have that auto-latch feature because the noise of the doors closing is said to be "too obtrusive."

Haha leave it to the Japanese to have that take on it.

Wonder what that gauge cluster looks like when it's lit.

When I lived in Asia, we had drivers.. This would be perfect, because drivers usually wait in the car a nap..
