RX330_Owner Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Just curious to see if anyone had any good/bad experiences with their Lexus vehicle being made in Canada vs. being manufactured in Japan. I just got a 2006 RX 330, made in Japan ( as identified by the first letter in the VIN ), and have had no problems so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The only thing that is different is some of the parts sourcing , they have tried and done an excellent job of recreating the Japanese build quality in a North American plant when i visited the plant a few months ago for a special invitation viewing. So real problems will only arise after a few years and if they do it will not be from the design and engineering but would be from parts makers who supply the smaller parts which have to be sourced around North America rather than Japan and other Asian suppliers. So either way if a part is found to not be up to " Lexus " par it would more than likely be resourced from Asia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
