Becoz for the same price-tag, one can buy a BMW/Merc? Eg. for Royal Crown, I can get a 325 or 330 ardi (equivalent specs but with conti branding)

 

As I noticed, most of these buyers r Jap high level executives who have to drive a Jap make.

I saw a royal crown once... white colour I think... Think very hard to find one on the road...

[Nazaki]

Seen a few royal crowns in Hyatt, CBD areas, the office building behind central square etc.

 

Saw a few NEW models too. Its VERY BIG! in fact, i feel that its ard the same size as the S class.

 

At the price tag of 160 to 200, 1 can easily afford a Lexus ES300 with alot of change or a GS300. I gues people who buy these are people who wanna be unique or japanese?

 

 

 

Specs wise, its not tt good too. Legend wif SOHC 3.5L engine.... Drinker man.

[Megalord]

I came across the legend several times whilst doing shopping, a little surprised when i saw 315NM @ 5000rpm here, as well as KM website. The torque i have been seeing is, 351NM @ 5000RPM or 259 lb ft@5000. 295 horses is similar. I hope its a typo error in misplacing the 5 and 1. A car i would consider to replace my ES300.

stick to es, stick to es! =)

Yes, 100% of the owner of royal crown are Japanese boss. Use to see many in Tuas and AMK indistrial area where japanese factories are located.

Got see before but not a lot.

[Megalord]

Quite keen to try out the lux cars from honda to be honest. I used to think Lexus is the top amongst the jap rides, but after a few encounters with honda rides, i do believe if honda want to do lux rides, they can do it as well, if not better. Somehow something tells me it might be so, afterall honda strangely put a SOHC engine into this car... Just waiting for test drive units to be available. How i wish manual versions are available as well.

[Fcw75]

The Legend is very very chio, esp if kitted with the Mugen kit. I saw it at the Motorshow, couldn't take my eyes off it...not bcoz there was a model standing besides it lah.

 

A lot of standard options!

During weekends at the Japanese Club along Adam Road. A lots of Toyota Royal Crown and Honda Legend.

[Iziz]

3L manual?!?

Can u even imagine the power!?

[Zoomx]

You are very right. Most of the buyers are Japanese. There are alot of crowns near my work place. The higher level ones will use LS430. The best part, most of these are bought by the company they are in.

[Iziz]

Of coz it is paid for by the Company, those r for the high level executives. Japs r all abt protocol, so the car they drive is carefully planned for.

[Carmaniac]

Seen the toyota royal crown like about 4 times.. but never see honda legend before.. imo royal crown's design is not really impressive, like too squarish.. gs300 or 5 series would definitely look better
