Now that tradition seems destined to change as Toyota readies an additional model in the flagshipIt was initially hinted at in a projected silhouette at the launch of the Toyota Alphard minivan by Toyota chief branding officer Simon Humphries, and now the arrival of a Century SUV seems a sure thing.
Sinking into the rich wool upholstery of a Century—it breathes better than leather in the humid Tokyo summer, and doesn't squeak either—is a different kind of luxury. No flashy Maybach or Bentley, the Century embraces a subtlety not seen much in the luxury market these days. Akio Toyoda did have a GR version made, with less-reserved sporty tweaks, but that was more the exception that proves the rule.
