Arent all RX-H in this model line up built in Japan? I think they are.

Ditto. Unlike 4th gen, 3rd Gen RX450h was still made in Japan.
Look at the VIN. If it starts with a J, it's made in Japan.

Not all of the 3rd Gen. Ours starts with a 2. The TMMC site indicates that they manufactured their first 450h on March 26, 2014.

yes, they are NOW built in canada as of 2014/2015 but i don't think all Rxh's from 2014/2015 onwards are exclusively made in canada. Hence my question once again:

'what options , paint choices are unique to Japanese builds?'
