I know Toyota Corollas are made in Fremont, CA, I believe the camrys and tacomas - maybe in Kentucky, the acura tl also is made here, honda civics accords and preludes are only 30% made in Japan (maye that 30% is the engine and/or transmission), and I don't know much about the rest (nissan, suzuki, subaru, etc.). I'm pretty sure the Type R is 100 % Jap made- it's on the windshield sticker. I'm thinking of getting a daily driver.

 

Integra is made in Japan as well as RL and NSX. All Lexus models are made in Japan as are all Subarus.

 

some (all?) legacys are made in Indiana.

 

Don't forget the S2000, MR2 Spyder, Celica (?); the list goes on and on....

 

Most Civics and Accords are made in Ohio (Civics at the plant in East Liberty, Accords at Marysville), as are their engines and transmissions and brakes (at Anna). Some Accords are imported from Japan (I'm not sure about Civics). All Preludes are made in Japan.

The Odyssey is made in Canada, and I think the MDX is, too. The Odyssey will be made in Alabama when the new plant there opens soon.

However, these are final assembly sites. Some components may be made in countries other than the assembly plant. So some cars made in Japan have U.S. content, and some cars made in the U.S. have content from Japan.

Did your sticker say 95% Japan or 100% Japan for your ITR? I'm pretty sure mine said 95% Japan. Any idea what the 5% is? I know preludes say 100% Japan

 

I think the 5% would be the speakers! LOL! When i replaced those cheesy factory speakers i noticed that they said made in New Mexico on the back!

 

I don't know. I know a lot of cars made abroad tend to use tires made in the United States. And I know a lot of cars made all over the world tend to use sound system electronics made in Japan.

 

My window sticker reads the following...

U.S./Canadian parts content: 5%

Major source of foreign parts content: Japan 95%

Country of origin:
Engine - Japan
Transmission - Japan

 

i dont know, my 98 GSR was 100% made in Japan.

 

Just take a look at the VIN. If the first letter is J it means the car's from Japan. A 1 will mean it's from the States.

 

my prelude is made in Japan. information from the window sticker.

 

All Mazda Miatas are made in Japan.

 

Mine says 95% Japan.

The 5% is for the "coded key" reader. It is made by AC-Delco.

99.9% of all new cars sold in the US have OBD II. OBD II was developed by General Motors and selected by the U.S. goverment to be used nationally (federal mandate). AFAIK, this system is made in the U.S. It may not total 1% of your car, but if your car is a 1996 or newer, its got it.

lates,

 

Just check the 2nd number of the vin number. If its J im pretty sure its japanese made.

 

I've actually heard of Subarus made in Canada am i correct?

 

prelude is 100% japan
S2000 is 100% japan
CR-V is 100% japan

integra is 100% japan
nsx is 100% japan
RL is 100% japan

I will never buy a car made in Canada or America.
They tend to rust faster and the quality assurance is not
as good as Japan.

I really like Civic but the quality is just can't compare to
a Japanese made civic.

That's why I am looking forward to see the British made
2002 civic SI

 

USDM cars do NOT rust faster, in fact until recently (the last ten yars or so, Japanese stell was inferioir to US stell and their cars rusted much quicker) pacific rim cars rusted much quicker. Most cars today use dual sided galvanized steel so rust is really a thing of the past.

British quality? LOL!

 

Would I be an *** adding that Skylines, Evos, etc. are made in Japan?

 

My wifes 98 EX Civic is 100% Japan.

 

hey mine was made in japan too! nice My vin starts with a J..

 

does the "J" prefix apply to all Jap make cars eg. Mitsubishi?

 

Yes.

BTW, if a VIN starts with "2", it was made in Canada.
