I see, that's why they looks the same.

[StylinRed]

insanely old; reposted... why?

[asian_XL]

IT IS a Toyota...they have a deal with Toyota, so they can sell a rebadged crown under HongQi's name

well the lexus LS and toyota crown majesta (if this hong qi is a rebadge of the crown), share the same platform, so i'm not surprised...

japan only cars have english on their switchgear also... but just don't open the hood, read the instruction manual, blow any fuses or turn on the auto climate control :lol

That's true I guess. I didn't think about all the JDM imports over here. I've seen the odd one with some Japanese characters on some of the buttons, and English on the rest. Weird.
