The Century definitely would not fly in the US. It's catered toward the ultraconservative Japanese luxury market. Mind you, I certainly would like to be chauffeured around in one.

I first heard of the Century in the late 1970's there were two known in the USA one was in private hands then. I will take a new one with the gasoline V12 not the natural gas one as with the price of natural gas here is exorbitant. I wonder if we could import one ourselves that is used.
