The only constant in life is CHANGE. Let's hope the infusion of money into the plant brings the production standards up to those of Japan. I have a feeling Lexus will do the right thing.

Stats:

Production Facilities Earn Top Honors
The Lexus production facilities also took Plant Assembly Line Quality Awards. The Cambridge South, Ontario, Canada plant (RX line) was honored with the Gold Plant Assembly Line Quality Award, while the Kyushu 2, Japan plant (IS line, ES 350, RX line) earned a Silver Plant Assembly Line Quality Award. Both plants had 24 PP100.

I don't see any difference in quality

Go to a lexus showroom and compare the 2 RX (one from Canada and one from Japan) and you can easily spot the quality differences...hint: start with the driver and passenger side front door panel and you can see that the Japanese made one has perfect fitting while the Canadian one has all kinds of uneven gaps....not bashing but I am just saying for those that focus on details and the expectation on spending $50k on a car..

From my experience, Japan built vehicles are built much better.
