Big news. What has always been a Japan-exclusive is coming to North America. http://pressroom.toyota.com/releases...ada+july24.htm

Even though my bias tells me vehicles made in Japan have better quality, statistics say otherwise. If building cars in North America allows Lexus to control increasing costs, I support that decision 100%.

This is great news for Canada and Ontario in particular where our manufacturing industry has been hit really hard by the economic downturn. I had a great tour of the Cambridge Plant where the RX 350 is built. The attention to detail is incredible and the plant is absolutely spotless, amazing.
