Alphard got adaptive dampers as options in Japan.

It is knew as TEMS, this technology been around Toyota since 80's/90's.
Here most people only bring in cheap/basic spec. to sell.

Even my mechanic manage to mod this TEMS system into his Toyota Corolla AE101 during the 90's.

Most of them (doing car review/content) keep selling n changing cars due to content and also cut losses/depreciation.
It is not cheap to maintain continentals, especially higher end models and also mostly purchase under company name as after few years changing cars also will help reduce company tax.

FYI, Vellfire is consider as lower spec. model line in Japan (compare to Alphard).
Here they sell like very high spec. Most bell and whistle specs. are on the Alphard.

I believe most of their cars might be registered or claim under company funds. If claim under company funds usually they will change car very often as this will help reduce their company tax. Thus why you can see a lot of those big company top post like Manager/Director above can change car easily after few years like nothing since it is not from their own pocket salary and also help company tax not being tax too high.

(road tax, insurance, maintenance, petrol) -> This 4 category itself, Big CC/Luxury car will gain a lot of advantage as owner no need pay from own pocket. I believe the capital allowance of Maximum is RM150k?
