Default Scion tC plant

So, the tC is being built at the Tsutsumi, Japan plant.

Does anyone know what other vehicles are built at this plant?

Any awards or honors the plant has one for/in previous models/years?

thanks....

Default Camry engine

The window sticker would say how much of the car is built in Japan. I won't be surprised if it is 100%. The Camry engine should have been designed in Japan before it came to the US.
It is not cost efficient to build the engine in the US then ship it back to Japan only to be shipped back here.
The Japanese factories also have to give employment to the people over there.

I chatted with a Scion.com representative and he said the Camry engine will be built in Japan.
