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.”

should be "Get Ready for More Nonsense" in the case of applying GRMN to the likes of the century lol, a car intended to stay as far away from the nurburgring as possible

You mean like the BMW x7m, AMG GLS, etc? Nah, add the crazy. I wouldn’t buy any of them but like that they exist!

This car is for fans only. That interior is not on the LS500 level let alone on something that costs almost three times as much.
