Where was your RX330/RX350/RX400H manufactured?
Is your RX330 made in Cambridge, Ontario Canada (TMMC) or Kyushu, Japan?
If you don't know, check your VIN plate on the lower drivers side door pillar...the location of manufacture either Japan or Canada...or you can simply check your vin...if it starts with a J, it's Japan, 2 is Canada.

When I was buying my 330! That was a REQUIREMENT for me! Made In japan. I didnt care if they had rthe exact car I wanted if it wasnt made in Japan--I kept looking

From my understanding, because RX400h production had to be ramped up, there are more 2005 RX330's built in Canada that are going to most all North American Lexus dealerships. It will be rare to see a Kyushu Japan made RX330 now until demand of the RX400h decreases.

Yes from what I know TC Editions are the only Kyushu Japan made ones at this moment along w/the RX400h.

Thanks.

The results were the cars we paint here at TMMC had a slightly better smoothness and gloss (appearance) paint job than the cars coming out of Japan.

i touch EVERY new car that comes off the car haulers from Jax.....its not much so the paint its more of the build quality. The paint on the Can. RX i admit appear far superior but then again the cars dont spend 6+ weeks on a ship not including the time they spend on the holding lots after being produced. I have to give you guys up in Canada alot of respect.....never seen a flaw on the paint of RX....your breakwater blue comes out looking super nice.
