Sorry for those iPad typos. After my experience, different company or not, i know what lexus has produced in Japan. After the 2016 model year we will know more, plus the leaked 2016 pics do not excite me.

Here's a bit about quality rankings of various plants:
http://www.therecord.com/news-story/...uality-survey/
One of Toyota's assembly plants in Cambridge received the top ranking Wednesday in an annual report on the quality of cars produced around the world.
The Toyota plant, which makes the Lexus RX sport utility vehicle, was recognized by Detroit-based J.D. Power for having the fewest defects or malfunctions — 12 per 100 vehicles manufactured.
Toyota makes the Corolla and the Matrix at another plant in Cambridge, and the RAV4 in a plant in Woodstock.
A General Motors plant in Ingersoll, Ont., that makes the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain also ranked well, with just 20 defects per 100 vehicles — placing it second in North America and fifth globally.
On a global ranking, Toyota took the top three spots including the Cambridge plant and two Lexus plants in Japan that tied for second at 18 defects per 100. A Nissan plant in Japan that makes Infinitis ranked fourth globally at 19 defects per 100.
