The KY plant has been producing Lexus ES300h hybrids for some time now (since May I believe). VIN starts with 58 instead of a J. Strangely, I found many more from KY in other states than I could in KY cities (Lexington, Louisville). I wanted to support the state of KY (I live here) but couldn't find what I wanted made in KY so I went with a Japan model.
(Note: The Georgetown KY plant will start producing RAV 4 hybrids in January of 2020).

As for the subject at hand, are the eCVT's more or less harsh on the transmission fluid (if you can call it that) vs a regular automatic transmission? Have wondered that for some time. Seems it would be less harsh....just a guess though.
