Default Lexus to be built in Kentucky

Just a matter of interest:

Toyota Motor Corp. (7203) plans to build Lexus ES 350 sedans at an existing Kentucky plant, the first U.S. production for its luxury brand, as Chief Executive Officer Akio Toyoda pushes to localize output in its biggest markets.

Toyoda and Jim Lentz, Toyota’s North American chief, said today in New York that production of the ES, the top-selling Lexus car in the U.S., starts at its Georgetown, Kentucky, complex in 2015.
