    For people wondering why the interior isn't leather, its cause the Japanese believe that wool is a more luxurious material so they use it for interiors on high end ultra luxury cars

    Read an entire article about this car, the interior is designed to feel modest, I believe the quote was along the lines of "the head that stands out is the head that gets pinned", leather is believed to be noisy and obnoxious while wool is more conservative, this theme of luxury in modesty is carried out throughout every design aspect of this vehicle

  • @kiefershanks4172
    @kiefershanks4172 Před rokem +9

    Hybridizing the Century is such a good idea. V12s are smooth but hybrids are smoother. Perfect for luxury applications. I kind of want to import one of these. I hate used cars generally because they are often mistreated and poorly cared for. But buying a used Century from Japan, I would feel confident the car was well cared for both maintenance-wise, and driver-skill wise. I'm not really into Lexus so this is perfect.

  • @gilbs72
    @gilbs72 Před 4 lety +61

    Anyone notice the reflection on the paint panels? They're near perfect images! Legend says the makers painstakingly sand every inch while checking that the reflection isn't distorted. True?
    Another rumor is that velour is used for the seats because the Japanese hate the noise and heat/sweat that leather produces.... specially in the hot and humid Japanese summer.
    ....and that the owner best wear a Grand Seiko. L🤣L

    For those commenting on the wool interior instead of leather, Toyota explains that in Japanese culture it is considered rude to have people sit on s seat surface that will make noise. Leather is noisy. Again, this is specific to Japanese culture.

    I love how it's not a gross "global" remodel that looks like a transformer. (What's the deal with the hideous new BMW grille??) The Japanese do restrained class unlike anybody else. Watching Century videos has firstly made me go out and buy a black Crown Majesta and secondly, introduced me to Work Emitz wheels which are stunning. I'm tempted to get a set of 19's for the Majesta.
