Default Celsior still in production?

I know this my be an off the wall question but since there is Lexus in Japan now is the Toyota Celsior still in production or did they discontinue it? If so, whats the differences between it and the Lexus-badged model if any?

The Celsior model name was retired when the Lexus brand was introduced to Japan in 2007. The Celsior version of the LS430 had countless differences and options such as a roof mounted flip down video screen for rear passengers, TV for both front and rear passengers, DVD and minidisc players, cornering lights, fender mounted turn signals, cloth upholstery and who knows what else.

The Celsior/LS430 was not the most expensive and luxurious sedan built by Toyota - that was the V12 Toyota Century.

Wow. Wonder why they never brought a version of the optioned-out Celsior to the states? Also a US version of the Century wouldve found a few buyers here.
