There is an old saying in the car circle, not afraid of Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover, afraid of volkswagen with letters. The meaning of this sentence is that Volkswagen has a model with letters, Phaeton, which can play the role of a pig and eat a tiger, which seems to be unassuming, but it is more powerful than most performance cars.
Toyota is the world's most profitable car company, Toyota is an affordable car in most people's minds, and few people will associate Toyota with top luxury cars. In fact, Toyota also has a top car--- Toyota Century, which is known as the Japanese Rolls-Royce.

Japan has sold only two left-hand drive versions of the Toyota Century, one for the Japanese Embassy and the other for a private owner. Toyota Century's logo is the exquisitely shaped Phoenix logo, which is hand-carved by 43 craftsmen and the phoenix feathers come to life.
Toyota Century's interior is not luxurious, but it gives a sense of understated elegance. The interior of this car is only two colors of gray and wood grain elements, the gray leather seats are very good to the touch, and a large number of wood grain elements are used in the center console and the inside of the doors, reflecting a sense of Japanese luxury.

Editor's Comments:
Although Toyota is a Volkswagen brand and takes the affordable route, Toyota's Century can fully afford the title of Japanese Rolls-Royce. Toyota Century embodies the temperament of low-key luxury and craftsmanship, not inferior to luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
In fact, domestic brands also have top luxury cars, and hongqi L5 is known as the domestic version of Rolls-Royce. Hongqi L5 will also conduct identity verification of car owners, starting at 6 million yuan, and Chinese car owners who can open Hongqi L5 are the real top rich.
