Toyota Creates Ultra-Luxury Century Brand Above Lexus
Very interesting indeed...
And we're talking substantially more expensive than Lexus! https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterly...h=396b74753399 I think this first offering is VERY nice. Naturally the SUV craze and demand are as high as ever. Quote:

White or silver for debut, imo. Headlight/design clusters are no bueno.
I'm sorry, but the emblem looks like the roadrunner with an octopus in its arse.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
For reference, the Century moniker has been around for several decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Century

Makes sense. Good business decision.
Aimed at the Chinese market, and will compete with Bentley and RR. |

Hard to see the interior quality of a Toyota coming anywhere close to a Bentley or Rolls. I’m sure it will be nice, but will also probably be night and day compared to those two. I can’t see the value proposition here with a V6 (hybrid no less) at that price point too. Every major competitor has a V8/V12/W12. Cadillac is going to have the same problem with their $350k EV spaceship. |

It's ugly and the interior doesn't even look nice. Photos of the dash look circa 2008. Plenty of Toyota plastics to go around.
