New cars, new teasers, and a bunch of aftermarket mods
Like the new look?
The Toyota Century is normally a car we'd rather not see end up in aftermarket-crazy hands. In stock form, the vehicle exudes a distinctly Japanese elegance and class that, frankly, should not be messed around with.That said, we were

A new imperial era is here

We like this company perk

To debut at the Tokyo Motor Show
Soft 100% wool upholstery, high-end leathers, and a 20-speaker audio system. Are we describing a car, or the Japanese emperor's personal living space?It's a car, of course. And a very nice one at that, too. The snazzy

It's an imperial experience
We were in Tokyo last week for a series of presentations and drives courtesy of Toyota. Prior to the trip, we had been offered a test drive of practically any model in the Toyota and Lexus lineup. Yes, we know what you'
