Does anyone know the percentage of Toyota imports vs american made Toyotas??? This might give us a clear picture.

Toyota's direction based on a speech by the President Fujio Cho back in 2004 and their recent developments with facilities in the U.S. may shed some light on the matter. See Attachment.

Fujio Cho: "Really, what it comes down to is that a company achieves globalization… by localization. And successful localization can help with overall globalization."

Toyota has started hiring for the San Antonio facility, I think there is an additional facility to be in Michigan. Toyota is even discussing how to build Camry's at a Subaru facility: Toyota-Subaru
