Anyone Owns A Toyota Progres

[Malaka2]

I saw this in a japan auction and its 2007 last produced so I think now a days we couldn't import it. But that car mesmerized me, it way ahead tech gadjects in that time. Its large space sedan like BMW or Merc. but truly beautiful. 2500cc and 3000cc displacement. I think its a marvelous machine. Its bit like Lexus range. Anyone know who has one in SL.?/

there's a green one in the kalubowila area. i've seen it around. sorry, doesn't stir my loins as much as it does yours. not even a shimmy down there. beauty after all, is in the eye of the beholder...

[Malaka2]

Errr performance?beauty??

Are you serious?

[Malaka2]

Toyota Century is a state car and I'm agree with you its marvelous but only four produced for royals. Anyway I told performance means not sporty acceleration or track time. . Its about luxuary with driving pleasure. I bet driving pleasure isn't available these day cars even they worth 8-10 million.

Actually the Century is produced in very low numbers mostly for Japanese state officials. The example shown above is the version built for the Japanese Royal family. Sourcing a used a Century is extremely difficult, only surpassed by the Megacruiser.

i learnt something new today!

[Malaka2]

Even Japanese Imperial House Agency can't afford too much Century Cars. First they orders 5 but after asset individual cost they decide to build only four.

Yeah just saw a post on the century today on Facebook. Coincidence! Wow... That's a boat on wheels if ever I saw one

Malaka, if it's luxury and power you're after, at a piffance of the price, try a Hyundai sonata h matic. There's a poor man's jag for you

No offense but I don't like Hyundai. But i agree with you its luxury.

What on earth are you implying?

[Komisiripala]

Lol yeah I thought that myself.

To each his very own, I guess.

[Malaka2]

You don't feel different for few years or months what is the different between a Hyundai and a Toyota. But life time and built quality isn't same dear. I'll give one example. Look at a early age Sonata. If you remembered it when second gen first arrived in 2005 its looks brilliant. In same year Mark II second gen (GX110) arrived. It also brilliant. So my question is does it in same condition now. (I know about maintenance and owner's differers but as a example) No offense but built quality isn't same.. Toyota long last than Hyundai.

I implied simple geographical change of mind.. If you give one choice from these three. What is you choice?? (Think all in same YOM) A Mercedes A Toyota And Hyundai.. May be I'm dumb but I definitly choose merc without thinking what model it is.

Having owned a sonata, and a Toyota, and having loathed Mercs for being Manik-mudalali-mobiles all my life, I'd pick the sonata. For sheer comfort.

Let's agree to disagree on this. Dear.

All manufacturers make both good and bad cars. Don't generalise. And yes, you are dumb if you choose a car blindly just cause of it's brand value.

[Malaka2]

The brand vallue makes people trust..

Ex: Dihatsu Boon/sirion vs Toyota Passo

Dihatsu Terrios vs Toyota Rush

Those two are common example about market value how effect people's choice.
