A week ago a friend purchased a Toyota Crown Athlete V, which he tells me is the sporty one compared to the Majesta and Royal Saloon and whatnot. That said it’s a single turbo 1JZ auto.

What it lacks in sport it makes up for in amazing Japanese luxury . Crazy dark tint on the rear windows, swinging air vents, grab handles on the backs of the front seats for rear passengers, and those corner markers on the fenders that glow green in the dark for some reason. It’s just too cool. Huge too - I fit comfortably in the trunk.

For a while I was trying to figure out what car had turned up that had a similar 3-circle taillight pattern. Then I realized I was staring at an identical Crown Athlete V! It’s the only interesting car we saw for the night (save an Aventador SV).

I always thought that traditional Japanese businesspeople preferred curtains, since tint was considered ricey ...

I’m told some of the more luxury models have curtains since tint is too conspicuous. And cloth seats since the sound of sitting on leather is too.

I think the tint is factory, does that mean it can’t be rice? I dunno. One man’s rice is another man’s dope shit.

Anyway the dude plans on getting some curtains in there.
