You two are like kids in a candy store, haha. Seriously, this is a gorgeous vehicle.

David and Kirk, If the Century and Lexus TX are closely related, the Grand Highlander is the third part of the trio. 😉

[@avdp9095]

Probably the best car on the planet.

[@Jontellis]

Love your genuine excitement! Great video

[@daved7024]

Love that Toyota Century. Beautiful ride for sure. 😊👍 THANKS David.

David and Kirk, that Century is a beautiful vehicle. The first thing I noticed was the grill and appreciate your pointing out how it was designed. I then noticed the double row quad headlights. Very stylish. Next to top off the great look of the front end was “The Phoenix”, so super sharp and attractive.

It should’ve stayed on the N platform or moved to the L platform. The K platform is a compromise and not truly befitting a flagship like the Century. But I digress. I’d love to see that Crown sedan behind you guys here in the Middle East.

[@emmo2850]

Thank you for such comprehensive information, maybe the camera person could focus on showing us what’s being discussed. I’ve noticed in a few of your videos of late. Much appreciated

Awesome exclusive content‼️ 20:13

[@Gleeleeglee]

Kirk ain’ tinterested on lines & corners @2:30 lol

[@faheemabbas3965]

7:37 Too bad people think that the TX is an overpriced GH no matter if it’s similar to the Century SUV.

[@eltripudiante]

Would people be able to import this to USA or Canada?

[@williamdrijver4141]

So there are two versions, one with normal rear doors and one with sliding rear doors?

[@Carlito_Brigante93]

Супер!

[@jel517]

David interupted Kirk when he was explaining the climate control. Is Toyota moving away fom having the climate control part of the touch screen? I've heard complaints in other videos that it's a pain to navigate

[@mcjogom]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@nomsi4263]

If this is on the same platform as the Lexus TX. But in the UK, we don't get that. So, whats the next best thing 😢 since Century is...again only japan

[@SG-js2qn]

Not a fan of the exterior styling, but then I'm not part of the target audience. lol As for the interior, it seems like something that the Green Hornet would be riding in, with Kato driving.

[@privated3887]

The back seat looks more like a comfy recliner than a back seat. It should recline all they because it's already trying to be a recliner chair😊 with massage!

[@amgineco]

Better than a BENTLEY.. wow..

[@markspence3750]

Mina san, nihongo wakkateiru. Honyaku dekimasu.

[@CharlesAnsman]

Needs a V-8

[@ALMX5DP]

Nah.

[@timothyjackson3874]

TOYOTA CENTURY SUV 1st pick, 2024 Hyundai santa fe awd 2nd.

[@sourcefor]

Very nice but too rich for my blood!

[@ajscroggins4628]

$170,000.00 USD… Yikes…

[@jpdoc5722]

better than Lexus LS, for a chauffeur driven car

[@markspence3750]

It looks like a Porsche Cayenne....

[@rrmetalbox4969]

Get ur eyes checked , blind guy

[@cargueone1971]

On a TNGA-K platform? More like lazy engineering . It Shares nothing with the premium platform Century Sedan.

[@ALMX5DP]

Think of it as the Bentley Bentayga versus the Flying Spur. Im sure this will be pretty popular for those who like the Century line and now brand.

[@faheemabbas3965]

THE BEST ENGINEERED SUV IN THE WORLD ISNT COMING TO US AND CANADA /s

[@technicalitems731]

Nothing worth a sh! Comes to USA

[@jimmyamico4713]

Hi David, Do you think Lexus will build a vehicle like this and do you think they will bring it to the United States? I am so excited to be able to own something like this in my lifetime. I’m just wondering if it could be a reality I am speechless and this vehicle takes my breath away. Wow, I’m intrigued beyond the human mind .🇯🇵❤️🤍🌎
