Yes, but your Lexus, and just about every Lexus is 90%+ made in japan with japanese parts. Because Toyota has always made their premium Lexus brand vehicles in Japan because that’s their way of wanting to guaranteeing quality. That’s how Lexus started, and they’ve never deviated from that. Even in modern times. Again, facts and real data.
Your Lexus LS definitely has almost no US parts content OEM and definitely was 0% made in USA.
A Lexus is as “un-American” a car as it can possibly get, if you really care about it.[/quote]I agree. It is old and at the time it was manufactured, Japanese automakers were not yet assembling any of their vehicles in North America.
However “unAmerican” it is, it has lasted me 17 years (purchased at 5 years old so I didn’t contribute to a foreign company’s profits). And is still running like a top. It’s the most reliable road car there is (performance, spaciousness and gas economy) and you can’t take that away from the brand. It is what it is. I cannot afford to replace it with a similar 5-year old model today.
My kid is not going to like learning to properly parallel park it in the city but she will have to learn :=0
