After placing my order, my dealer was very tight lipped until the end when he sent me information that allowed me to track my car from Japan.
First the car:

Here is the ship that it came over on:
http://www.ships-info.info/mer-Sunbelt-Spirit.htm
Now using the Sunbelts Spirits logs, I was able to track it from Japan, through the Panama Canal, up to the Toyota Southeast division port in Florida, to finally the Northeast port in New Jersey.
Use Google Earth and enter the following coordinates in the "Fly To" search area. Be sure to separate with a comma.
First the HS was made here at the Kyushu Plant:
N33 45 30.84, E130 38 12.95
Now I'm not sure of the port they use from this plant but the ships logs show the Tahara Plant as its first port of call in Japan. If anyone knows for sure what port the Kyushu plant uses, I'd love to know.
Here is the first port that I was able to track for the Sunbelt Spirit on this voyage. This is the Tahara plant, and you can actually see the Toyota test track and what looks like the Sunbelt Spirit in the image.
Tahara:
N34 43 29.35, E137 18 03.95
Next after passing through the canal, the next stop was the port in Florida where the ship stayed overnight to offload.
Toyota Florida Port:
N30 20 52.98, W81 37 21.39
Last stop was the port in New Jersey where my HS was offloaded and shipped to my dealer in Pittsburgh. Total trip time was around 1 month. Total time from order to driving the car was a little more than 5 months.
NJ Port:
N40 41 35.02, W74 07 43.84
Hope this works because I thought it was interesting.
