Not all spawned in Japan
Yesterday I was in the neighborhood of my dealer and stopped to have lunch with him, chit/chat and make sure with an all gas model 2010, my cell phone would work with the new nav system (it does). I had thought they all came from Japan but some of the new 2010's are manufactured in Cambridge Ontario. But the hybrids will 'ALL' come from the new plant in Japan.
Still holding that ketchup bottle upside down ANTICIPATION It's hard to wait but 450h is on the way.

Does one of news say Toyota realize the importance to build the plants outsides J? They spent too much money on "transporting" vehicles from J to destinations.
Now, they have to make Cambridge plant build the high-quality vehicles, and make sure their plants in J do the same things.

In 1989, Lexus began building vehicles in Japan. Its Canadian plant, the first plant outside of Japan, opened in September 2003, located in the province of Ontario. Currently, Lexus has four facilities operating in Japan.
About Our Newest Facility
Cambridge, Ontario, is home to the first Lexus manufacturing plant in North America. It produces the RX luxury sport utility vehicle, the best selling SUV Lexus ever built.
The Cambridge facility is unique in its resemblance to a Lexus dealership, rather than a typical automotive plant. The first RX produced in this facility is on display in the showroom, surrounded by polished wood floors and ceiling-high glass–an impressive setting that reminds all employees to take pride in their craftsmanship.
No matter where a Lexus is built, one thing remains constant: The idea that every step of the production process should reflect the Pursuit of Perfection. As of today, this Cambridge facility has earned seven J.D. Power and Associates plant-quality awards, including four gold awards.

Welcome to the forum.
Be honest to you, I wasn't really paying attention to this when selecting the car. If the Sport pkg RX is from J, I should really buy it although the discount is only 2K off.
Thanks for your info.

Agreed the 330 was the first lexus made outside of Japan at the cambridge facility.
All depends on what options are ordered and your location for which location you get yours from.
