Toyota Century:
The Century was never created to challenge any other car, but exactly the opposite. It was created to hone who Toyota is, has been, and must be. A singular definition of what they can do on their own, to customers who have come to trust in Toyota, and who is Japan with crafting, art, serenity, and humble statement of "omotenashi," the very word that define all these concepts of Japanese hospitality as it has stood for 2500 years.
It is the reason it isn't badged as a Lexus, nor sold with any real intents to outside of Japan with a mind of competing any other car.
