Very Nice Car. Crown is one of the best Japanese cars and is really a crown "Taj" for Toyota. Since Lexus brand wasnt available in domestic market before 2005, crown was the flagship series of toyota. Shape and price wise LS430 is equal to Crown Royal Saloon. Brand new Crown Majesta was slightly costlier than LS 430, may be its now equal to new LS460!!
Another peculiarity of Crown is that they come in 2WD as well as 4WD. Crown has been designed conservatively and stuffed with luxury items to please older byers and executives.
In the end I wish I had a similar crown.
