I really enjoyed this podcast, especially with the “redefinition of luxury” section! Yes, Toyota Century (and don’t forget the Mitsubishi Debonair) rules! I think you guys are on to something here. I am reaaaally sick of the Teutonic definition of luxury as being the ONLY definition of luxury in the states.

Every time I see wing mirrors THAT far forward I always laugh. Is it just me?

This could be wrong, but someone like Chris Bangle said in response to a fairly aggressive question; at least we don’t have to screw up the wing mirrors like the Japanese!

Is it just me or does the Cizeta look like someone got really drunk on a bottle of Georgi and decided to get “creative” with some of the spare parts laying around from the Diablo kit car half finished in the garage?

The Cizeta-Moroder looks like something a precocious 16-year-old boy would’ve drawn in study hall. The basic shape isn’t any sillier than other contemporary exotics (not saying much, admittedly), but the detailing keeps hurting me. The silly strakes are not as bad as the ridiculous pop-up quad headlights. It could’ve been a prop from Demolition Man.

Re: Century,

I have the next best thing – the Nissan President. Okay, so you know it as the Infiniti Q45, but it’s virtually identical to the homemarket car. And it’s quite fun for a big thirsty luxo barge. It’s the S-Class to the Century’s Maybach. If you are limited to 276hp (supposedly, odds are the real power rating is higher), a V8 is just as good as a V12, and a fair bit lighter on the nose.

You could get a used one. Of course, that won’t be cheap either.

I would love to own a Century.

Scratch that, I’d love to have the kind of lifestyle that would warrant owning a Century. Of course, I’m not a ranking member of the Japanese royal family, nor the hard-working senior executive in a moderately large keiretsu, this isn’t going to happen.

Oh that Cizeta is bad. An in, I half expected Fiero running gear underneath.

Justin is sick in the head or blind. We just established that. Er, HE just established that.

Don’t believe me?

How can anyone not like the Countach? Well, at least the outside of it…
