I have found no differences between the two. (and believe me, I have tried.) I have been to the Cambridge plant and have seen the RX production line and I can personally attest to the strict measures that have been implemented to ensure the Canadian vehicles are of the same level of quality or better than their Japanese counterparts.

What about the paint issue? I heard the paint is softer on the RX330 than RX300.

Both are assembled to quality Toyota standard. The only notable difference is the source of the engine. Canadian-assembled RX330 have its engine coming from a Toyota engine plant in West Virginia, not from Japan.
