Just use auto translate in your browser, pretty good read on the people / craftsman side of building the new Century.

You really need to have OCD to be qualified to build the car.

They just ruined the Century with the SUV.

If you want headroom and comfort, the LM is actually a better car than the Century SUV.

I agree, the LM would be the better choice. I like the way it looks but prefer the sedan or an LM.

GRMN stands for “Gazoo Racing tuned by Meister of Nürburgring.”
