I saw a silver Toyota Majesta!!!

On my way to work today, I saw this silver toyota car that I dont recognize here in the states. Then I went up close to it and I saw the name on the back says "Majesta" and it is indeed a right hand drive vehicle from Japan. I remember seeing cars like this in my study abroad trip to Japan and they are called Crown over there, and I can't really believe I saw it in Ann Arbor today and I really dont know why I see it, it is kind of strange. Anyways here is what the car looks like

Crown Majesta is Toyota's flagship sedan(excluding Toyota Century) in Japan. Powered by the same Lexus 4.3L V8.

IMO, its interior is even better than the LS460 one(design wise) :

Interior looks nice. Exterior styling is not my taste though.

Most British dominions [United Kingdom, Australia, India, etc] and Japan are those with RHD. Continental Europe is LHD like the United States and Canada.

I'm not sure about Africa, maybe it's mixed, or maybe it's LHD like most of Europe.

Ann Arbor is the best city in North America, but, it would be better if the Toyota Tech Center got up and left town! Also, take the summer art fairs with you. God I still hate those.

Let's make Ann Arbor a Happy Honda kind of town.

I used to think that too. Here is how the whole world stacks up...


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_on_the_right

As you can see, only the Brits, former Brit colonies, former French territory, and Japan use RHD cars. There you have it. Left-hand drive rules!

Great, so we have people dissing Ann Arbor and left hand drive in here. Where are the anti-AT people?!

You know I'm from Michigan because I want to remove the one winning economic component from the state's only economic growth area. If you want a job, go to Indiana, or Grand Rapids [GR isn't the "real" Michigan].

The "real" Michigan is the one where you drive a Dodge Stratus with pride!

I would prefer center drive but both the gibbs aquada and Mclaren F1 are out of my price range. LHD is the next best thing. I notice that map includes siberia, north pole, etc... What side do you drive those cattracks things from?

The metric system is a great idea, and I love it(try doing Honors chem with the standard system, wow did that suck(we had to convert Liters per hour to cubic miles per millenium).

Santa drives on the 'left', as in what's left of the frozen lake!

I'd rather metric fasteners on our foreign cars. Anyone know if domestics use english nuts 'n bolts? Millimeter measurement makes more sense than fractions of an inch.

with some options on a car as lux as that, they can control anything from rear air conditioning, rear entertainment, seat recline/rubs that sort of thing.... like the systems on large SUVs like a YUKON/Suburban
