Toyota Redesigns 'Crown'
Tokyo - TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) announced today it has completely redesigned the "Crown Royal Saloon" and "Crown Athlete" series and added a hybrid model to the product lineup. The Royal Saloon and Athlete series go on sale in Japan today and the "Crown Hybrid" will be launched in Japan on May 6.

The 13th-generation Crown unveiled today retains the sense of poise and reliability that characterizes the Crown series, which has earned a reputation as the leader among luxury vehicles in Japan over the more than half a century since its debut in 1955. At the same time, the new Crown adopts advanced technologies to create luxury sedans that provide performance at the world's highest levels.

While the hybrid version delivers outstanding cruising and environmental performance, all three series benefit from the excellent vehicle stability and preventive safety performance offered by VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management).

Other advanced features include a Pre-crash Safety System that can determine - as a world's first* - whether the driver's eyes are properly open. Such features, together with an integrated navigation system, result in one of the world's highest levels of driver support. Read Article

Always a fine vehicle, but I'd swear that Toyota's been working these same 'tired' design themes for some 15 years now...

Summary: More Of The Same!

Is there an equivalent of this vehicle sold in the US?

NO, but the RWD platform is 'loosely' based on that of the GS-Series.

Looks like a Hyundia Genesis and the model in the back is a dead ringer for our IS350

My Japanese friend' husband has a Crown in Japan - she says it's the most boring car in the world and doesn't drive it because people will think she's an old lady.
