The Toyota century is a large four-door limousine, produced by Toyota for the Japanese market. It was first produced in 1967, and has undergone some design changes over the years. The Century is generally used by bureaucrats, royalty, and executive businessmen. Priced at $150,000, it is clearly out of range for most common people. Although the In Japan, the Century is sold to large companies for use as chauffeur-driven cars. It's highly unlikely that one of these cars would be sold to someone who'd drive it themselves.

           The Century has a powerful, 5000 cc engine. It has the DOHC engine, used in most Toyota cars, with VVT-i technology. The multi-cylinder engine provides sparkling performance. Handling is a breeze, and you can negotiate sharp curves without applying the brakes.

            Size-wise, it's slightly smaller than an S-Class, but in looks, the Century is quite a long way behind European luxury saloons. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. The Century has room for a host of modern day luxuries, and has a spacious interior. The design also means the imposing-looking Century stands out in traffic, carving its way through hosts of ordinary cars.

            The rear of the car is a real pleasure, in terms of comfort levels. You have the luxury of a TV, CD player, climate controls, reclining seats, and a phone (just to name a few). Seats are available in both leather and cloth.

            In conclusion, the Century is the best modern day retro car. Unfortunately, it is out of reach for most people.
