Default Will the ES300h continue to be made in Japan
or will Lexus also move the hybrid eventually to the US facility as they have with the ES350?

Doubt it. Only a few Toyota hybrids are assembled outside Japan - the Yaris hybrid in Europe and the Corolla hybrid in China. Lexus still make all their hybrids in Japan. I don't think North American ES300h sales justify the cost of adding a new production line to the Kentucky facility.
