  • The 2004 Toyota Century (~$30,000 in Canada as specced, ~$22,000 in the US) is a V12 powered Japanese luxury limo. But whilst it may have some charm, its not exactly alone as a luxury big displacement barge. Thomas has brought along a 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom (for sale at CAD$159,999) and a Maybach 57s (Value ~CAD$100,000) to show James what 2000s Luxury limos are really capable of. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!
    Thanks to Amedeo DiCarlo, Criminal Defense Lawyer and his driver Mike for lending us the Maybach.
    Thanks to Nawab Motors for letting us feature their daily driven Phantom!
    And to James, for just being handsome and letting us borrow his one of a kind, creme da la creme Century. And for writing this description.

    Moral of the story, when you see a luxury car going super slowly, it means the car is broken not that the driver is classy and mature.

    Two brothers would compete as they grew up to see who could swim the furthest into a Great Lake that spanned the horizon before getting to tired that one would have to give up and start to swim back as they ran out of strength.
    One day, the younger brother, who always lost to his older, stronger, brother, challenged him to one last contest. The older brother laughed in his face but accepted the challenge.
    As they got further and further into the seemingly endless horizon of water, the older brother, shocked, gave in and had to turn back.
    Back on shore, the dumbfounded older brother asked, panting with fatigue, “How did you finally beat me?”
    The younger brother smirked and said, “I never planned on turning back, my goal wasn’t to save strength for the return trip, I was committed to making it across the whole lake.”

    I find it admirable that the Century was released in 1997 and did not change anything to its design until 2017. In 1997 it still fell under the gentleman's agreement so power was lower than competitors and capped at a theoretical 276hp. While the Rolls and Maybach are both a product of the innovations of past 2000 and were not restricted by an agreement and thus have powerplants with way more power, but also way more weight. I'd love to own a Century one day.
