2015 ES--Country of Origin
I know that Lexus had announced, some time ago, that the ES was going to be built in a US factory starting in 2015. I'm assuming that production of the ES in the US has not started yet. Would that be correct? If the 2015 ES vehicles sold so far have still been built in Japan, does anyone know when the US plant is scheduled to be open and when production of the ES in the US will start?
If nothing else, I would hope that someone with a 2015 ES could check the VIN to confirm that it was still built in Japan.

Does that mean that there has been a delay? All of the press releases/announcements that I have seen from Toyota and Lexus have said that production of the ES in the Kentucky would begin in 2015.

According to the state of Kentucky, the plant structure is finished and production should start in late 2015.

The latest ES's arriving on dealers lots with 12/14 build dates still say "made in Japan" and they are still arriving via ship at ports like Long Beach, California. And the ES's car part's sticker still says "Japan 95%")
