That's a sweet sweet new Crown Majesta Flash site. The video clips that introduce each feature of the car is beyond well done... Why is the video introduction on the Lexus website not even close to half as detailed as the ones on this site for the Crown MJ? (It's a total of 15-minute long video...and they barely waste any time on the pure image/impression stuff).
Man...*every* LS430 UL feature is there...4.3L V8, pre-collision system, rear-view camera, adaptive front lighting system, radar cruise control that can work till a complete stop, air suspension, rear seat controls for climate, massage...you name it!!!
PLUS a whopping 14-speaker ML audio system, all-wheel drive option, the parking assist (that parallel-parks/backs the car into garage/slot for you), the illuminating door sill logo, the side-mirror turn-signal blinkers, HID fog light, the trunk opener (that elegantly opens all the way up!!), lane keeping assist (OMG you've gotta look at the video 3 of chapter 2...it detects the lane markers and steers for you!!!!!!!!! Combined with the adaptive cruise control, you can just lay back and let the car drive!! Hands-free foot-free driving!!! I'm really blown away...), the manual height control and the Night Vision thing on the LX470, the START button for keyless ignition....and it looks sportier and less stodgy than the LS430 too!! Man oh man oh man..... Why can't we have it here??? ...*drooooool*.... The LS430, not to mention the rest of the world, is soooooo like 2-3 years behind this thing it's not even funny!!!
I'll never understand why Japanese companies always keep their best of the best products only to the JDM, as if it wouldn't sell like hot cakes elsewhere.
There's simply not one reason such a fine piece of automobile can't sell in anywhere of the world. (Okay so they may have to rebadge it to Lexus in some places but so what.) So please please please Toyota...bring it here and share the love!!

I love it! Hmm... maybe I'll be able to bring it into Australia later on?
Oh, I'm not sure about Toyotas, but JDM Nissans had HUD installed on some S13 Silvias and 180SX coupe, also the U13 Bluebird SSS turbo (Altima in the US I think it was called?)

I tried and believe me it will be cheaper for you to buy used Lexus here in Aus than try to import Majesta. Don't forget customs duty and 40% luxury car tax.

I've been researching into this car for a while. I am trying to calculate to see if it's feasible to import this car here into Indonesia for my parents. But I might be looking at a $180,000 price tag. Yikes....

The Crown Athlete is probably the 2nd car (after a daily beater) that I'd add to my garage if it became available + me w/ the means to acquire it. What a beautiful car - the Majesta, too!

EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, it'll be sad, not funny, for us...sigh...

It'll be funny if a few years later when Lexus finally unveil the new flagship "above" the LS430 which they promised recently, it turns out to be a Crown!! LOL.
