It reminds me of the trips I used to take to Japan, when I had a chance to see cars you would never see in the US. Even riding in some of the taxis was a completely different experience, especially regarding the ride quality and driver behavior and professionalism Japan is very much a different culture, and I enjoy it for that reason!

Agree. Had one of the early LS400 off the first boat to the USA. Later, Almost traded it for an SC400 after a test drive, but the LS was such a great car, hung on to it for over 200k miles. Best car I ever owned.

@@yankeexpress I agree the LS is a great car! What year was your LS and how much did you pay back in the 90's?

Nice. I had a green stick (passive, not illuminated) on my 81 Cressida. It's quite handy for parking close to curb without scuffing the tires. THANKS TIM

21:40 - The button on the left says Rear Curtain above it with a “open” and “close” written on it. The button on the right (not 100% sure) has something about the car height limits above it and has “high” written on the button (probably referring to the height-adjustable bags). Wonderful video!

They have a phone app, that when you view the Japanese writing through your camera it translates it to English. If you're going to do more international car reviews you might want to download it 😉

You’re referring to “Google Translate”. 👍

Its called "Photo Translator" actually. I use it when I look at japanese...drawings. Even if the writing is stylized, simply take a picture and an english translation pops up. I haven't seen that functionality from google translate but it may exist

There are probably a dozen apps by now that do this. The most popular are “Google Translate” (by Google for Android, iPhone & iPad) and just “Translate” (by Apple for iPhone & iPad). They are both free unlike most of the others.
