Looks very much "Lexus" now!

[Renegade777]

 

The black one is nice.

[Altivo]

The grill looks very much like an Audi.

[Jaglim]

i think the front grille spoils it all.

[Earthboy]

i test drove it and like it alot. very comfortable but

1. interior too ah pek

2. the car is so long but without reverse camera. can be quite difficult to park.

3. wind noise is too much for this level of luxury and price.

4. BM don't bring in the Athlete. The suspension is a tad too soft. although the electronic will intervene, you can still know the car roll too much.

 

in the end bought the new GS and is very happy with it.

Look like a big hat at the front...

[Akula]

Sat in one before. Very cushy ride, with a super silent and smooth V6.....

 

Just the sort on car to be driven.....

This is the 14th gen Crown Royal. Looks much better in the flesh. Its very popular in Tokyo. The centre stack is all touchscreen, which is a smart alternative to the Lexus's cumbersome mouse.

looks nice except for dated fog lights.

And this is the mother of all Toyotas - a 5L V12 behemoth called the Century. Its really damn old fashioned and irrelevant, but I managed a drive in this barge of a car, and it rides supremely well and its as quiet as a church mouse. Lovely to cruise around. Don't think it can take corners well I guess...

14th generation Toyota Crown finally available from PI:

 

http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=11598

 

Only 1 engine option, a 2.5L 4-cyl hybrid, same powertrain as the Camry Hybrid, IS300h and GS300h. I would have preferred the NA 2.5 V6.

go with the Mark X. it still has the 2.5 V6.

Well, what I am commenting is the PI's choice of engine they decided to bring into SG.

 

The Crowns can be had with 2.5 V6, 3.5 V6, 4.3 V8 and 3.5 Hybrid. In fact I had seen a gold coloured SKM-plate NA-engine Crown Royal on the road, but haven't seen it being advertised for sale.

 

Have you bought your car already?

[Neutrino]

I used to drive one when I was working in Kuala Belait back in 1984 ish.

 

Dunno what version that was.

Very spongy cornering.

But fun to drive and with all the bells and whistles internally.

[Mkl22]

bought a used mark X.
