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.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. So, like I said, people that drive one of these aren’t doing their part to help american workers, if they really cared about it and really wanted to do something about it.
Those nice tariffs will also affect you next time if your Lexus LS needs parts. Because your choices will be
some cheap knockoff from Oreilly/Advance autoparts (which are made either in China or India)..Or if you really insist on Toyota OEM, those would be from Japan.
