Toyota ushers in new Century, Japan's challenge to Rolls-Royce as collectors covet older models
Toyota has just introduced a new Century. This is a big deal. The Toyota Century is the most exclusive car in Japan.

It is so iconic as a status symbol that it is exempt from stringent national restrictions on vehicle and engine size. It cannot even be purchased in a typical dealership, but only at specialized stores, and only by invitation. The Emperor is chauffeured around in a modified Century.
