Default lexus is300 not import.........................

check out whut this guy on some "azn" forum says bout this pic of his brother's is3:


me: i think u posted this pic in the wrong gallery.. should be in the "import car gallery" instead of "unisex gallery"
davidhchiem: it's not import and there aren't no sexy models haha
SecksyRx3: lexus/toyota isnt import? made in canada/america but U.S. didnt invent the toyota altezza, kapan did.. so its still an import.
davidhchiem: but ours was manufacture HERE muhahah
SecksyRx3:um, i dare u to say that a lexus, toyota, bmw, mercedes, honda, acura, audi, volkswagen, daewoo, kia, hyundai, McLarenF1, nissan, infiniti, and any other "import" car isn't an import car on a car forum.
davidhchiem: ok, those cars are NOT import cars. they're all manufactured HERE so they're DOMESTICS.

I can almost make a safe bet that the IS300 is manufactured in Japan with 99-100% Japan parts content. It says where it was manufactured on the VIN plate on the inside of the driver's door, I'll check today, or check your bro's.
