I think Jeff is talking about the average for all Toyota vehicles,
not just Camry's. The domestic content from some others is much lower
(Lexus, 4Runners, Prius, Yaris).

I knew that... ;)

Fact is, more and more models are assembled in the US and Canada now.
There is only a handful of Japanese made cars coming here.

About 40% come from Japan.

Of course, some of those are big sellers; the Highlander, the Prius
and the RAV4. Also, the FJ, but there aren't a lot of those, yet.

The Prius is made in Indiana, too.

Hmmmm....when did that start?!

Late last year.


I didn't think they started making them in the US yet... Thanks.
