differences in cultures in Japan vs US include the fact that the Celsior then to be an executive car utilizing a chauffeur so the rear seat occupant is more catered to with cup holders, and possible additional power outlets, cell phone holder/power outlet, and other options like door curtains, radio controls, etc. Folding mirrors are standard on most cars in Japan larger than kei car size due to small parking spaces and roadways. Cruise control would be restricted by law to the maximum legal speed limit in Japan, and the very low levels of auto theft would negate the need for security systems.

I also suspect the fabric is pure wool. If you check reviews of the Toyota Century, this fact is pointed out by various reviewers. The fabric looks identical with the Century’s. In those reviews, pure wool trim is esteemed as higher grade than leather’s. According to Wikipedia, you could have one of three models, model “A” (basic), model “B” (with uprated suspension, and model “C” (fully equipped with trim specifications).

When you run your palm over the seat surface, leather makes more noise compared to fabric; it also absorbs noise, thus making the interior even quieter. And under high temperature (especially when your car has been parked under a hot sun), leather is definitely hotter to the touch compared to fabric.

My 1990 Celsior was equipped with ride adjustable air suspension, electric rear seat adjustment including headrest via a control panel in the centre armrest where the cupholders were in this video. This panel also controlled the radio, rear air-conditioning temp and air volume. Also the rear seat massaging and full for extra legroom, the front passenger seat would move forward and the headrest for tilt down so you could recline, be massed, cooled or warmed plus be able to see better forward through the windshield. One last thing is the second washer switch and bottle was for a high-pressure wash plus headlight wash.

The only thing which was aftermarket on the car was quad exhaust tips, 18inch rims, wide bodykit with duckbill wing and 9 level adjustable air suspension module with braided hoses and K&N performance filter in the engine bay.

My dad bought a German spec ls400 in 92. I do still own it. There are some more differences to the us model and the celsior! I wonder which country got the most features. I do have the rear reclining and massage seats from the Middle East. The euro spec also has the front spoiler / lip on the bumper. And yellow fog lights in the bumper. Where the us model has the fog lights the euro spec has extra high beams. We didn’t get the folding mirrors or the electronic rear view mirror in the middle. We did get the cup holders in the rear and seat heater. There were only four options in Germany in 92. sunroof Cd changer Leather seats Leather seats with heated seats We also got the antenna and the pioneer radio with rds ( radio data system) extra display with the name of the station. Front brakes got extra cooling from the front spoiler. Probably stiffer suspension no air suspension in Germany but for the rest of Europe.

The headlight and foglight are difference pieces because the US laws at the time required mechanical aiming. That's why the lens has the little nubs on it - there's a fixture that clamps to the lens, with some bubble levels in it. When you adjust the headlight aim the whole lens moves. It has to be seperate from the fog lamp for this reason. On the JDM car, the reflector inside the headlight moves, the lens says in place. If you look at euro vs. US headlights on an 86-91 W126 Mercedes you'll see the same thing.

Nice I enjoyed your comparison with USDM and JDM, it's rare that we get to see them side by side like that. BTW the Kanji you shown on the wiper stalk says "油膜取り” Yumakutori which translates to OIL Film Removal, I had to look it up my kanji skills are the greatest yet. You mention that there's two reservoirs so I suspect one is for a cleaning agent, ideally the one that corresponds to the Yumakutori switch, and the other is for usual washer fluid. Looking forward to your next video future Doug Demuro. Oh forgot one more thing, the ETC card reader is for automated toll bridge payment cards, there's a lot of private highways in Japan that require paying tolls to use. The card reader should link up to something on the inside of the windshield that pays the tolls as you drive through the toll booths, so you can be on your way without having to stop and pay the toll.

Cool video! The original LS400 came standard with a manual telescoping, power tilt wheel and without remote entry. Leather was also optional. The Japanese actually prefer cloth to leather which is probably why your Celsior was so equipped. Ordering the Luxury Features Group included remote entry, among other things, and the Memory System included the power telescoping wheel along with power headrests and belt anchors. I believe that the power tilt/telescope wheel, remote entry and leather were standard after MY 1993 but not absolutely certain since my brochure is packed away.

Here in Australia I've driven a 1990 Toyota Celsior almost identical to yours with the cloth/velour seats. The swapping of the radio buttons is due to making the common functions closer to the drivers side. I grew up in New Zealand and moved to Australia and predominantly had either Japanese or local Australian vehicles. These also had the indicators on the right, wipers on the left. It was only when I purchased a European car that the stalks changed and the radio on/off moved to the "wrong" side for me - obviously because most of their vehicles would be for left hand markets. New Zealand gets many ex JDM cars with unusual names and specs. My father has a Toyota Windom which is basically a Camry. These import cars often have Japanese labelling and the ICE systems can also be all in Japanese. One other interesting titbit is the radio frequencies for the Japanese market is at a lower band so band extenders have to be added to the radio to access all the radio stations in the local New Zealand market.

Two windshield washer reservoirs is the weirdest thing, never seen it on any other car. My guess its for two kinds of washer fluid. It would not make sense for winter/summer washer fluids because the summer fluid would freeze in the winter and may damage the reservoir. As for the cloth interior, the japanese actually prefer cloth to leather. I've seen quite a few mercedes w126 S-class imported from Japan and most of them were cloth as well. Cool video!

About the FM1 FM2, each will use the 6 buttons memory preset radio stations. So this means you will have 12(6+6) presets of radio station. Just a neat solution to have 5 less buttons instead of having just 1 FM button and 12 memory preset buttons. Clever japanese

At least Toyota had the sense to swap the directional stalk based on where the steering wheel was located (left hand drive or right hand drive). BMW just moved the whole steering wheel assembly from left to right without a care about the directional stalk. So the stalk stayed to the left of the steering wheel on right hand dr. cars. I say this because in a manual car, you have to take your hands off the shifter to use the directional stalk, which can be annoying if you're shifting and changing directions at the same time.

Had an old 97es300 for a couple years, but I always loved the ls400, thought they looked super nice. Was never able to find one for sale near me sadly.

During the 1980s and early 1990s, the mobile phones that were installed in the cars had the pigtail aerials. They required drilling the hole through glass to attach the coaxial cables and anchor the aerial. Drilling through the glass was preferrable to metal because the latter would rust (if not treated properly) and leave the streak down the surface over the time. What you saw is probably the remnant of pigtail aerial. The reason why the headlamps and foglamps aren't one piece for the United States is that the headlamps must be sealed (reflector and lens glued together). When adjusting vertical and horizontal, the entire headlamp capsule moves up/down and left/right. The European headlamps have moveable reflectors inside the headlamp housing. On the European version, the reflector moves up/down and left/right without moving lens and housing. That changed in 1992 when the ECE headlamps were allowed in the US with one major difference: the lens must be glued to the housing (European headlamps have detachable lens for cheaper replacement). The speedometers in the JDM vehicles can only show up to 180 km/h and have alarm bells that go off if you go faster than 100 km/h.

The rear antenna for the jdm celsior/ls400 is in the base of rear windshield, thats why the defogger seemed so dense or close, its actually the rear antenna lines, alot of toyota cars had that during that era, and the extra windshield washer tank is for the headlight washer, but that celsior doesn't seem to have that option ,or was ina front accident and it was removed

The Soarer 4.0GT/Limited could be equipped with the very expensive Active Suspension which numoed up the retail price to the JPY 7M level. Not sure if the export-spec SC400 had such suspension option as well?

Ot too sure about the american ls400 but here in New Zealand we got them fitted with auto dim rear and side mirrors, the side mirrors were heated. The headlights came with their own wipers. The antenna was embedded within the windscreen. So many more options the americans missed out on.
