Matrix: All the Matrixes (Matrices?) I see are made in Canada. For those of you on the Left Coast, are there any Japanese Matrixes? (IE, VIN beginning with "J").
They also seem to have Delco radios, judging from the design. Not surprising, considering Toytas half-assed partnership with GM. They actually sound pretty good!
Camry. Saw my first Japanese made 2005 Camry. The 'content' sticker said Final assembly point Japan. Parts content was 70% US/Canada, 25% Japan. (As an aside question, WHERE THE HELL IS THE OTHER 5% OF THE CAR?!?!) So are they shipping body parts (ugh, THAT sounds good!) to Japan, assembling them there and putting in the engines and trannies; are they shipping completed bodies over there and installing the engines and trannies (seems kinda dumb...)? Remember, the sticker said FINAL assembly point.
