    My 2009 Toyota Camry SE was assembled in Kentucky.
    You can't imagine the smile on my face every time I show that "assembled in Kentucky" sticker to people who says " buy American".

    It is more than Assembled in the U.S.A., it may well be the car with the most North American parts content.

    "According to Toyota, the gasoline version will have a market-leading 92-percent North American-sourced parts. Content for the 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid—with its Japan-sourced battery pack and drive components—will be 59. But since the window-sticker percentages are calculated on a 'carline' basis, that still calculates to an estimated combined AALA figure of 89 percent for the 2012 Camry lineup."

    With the weak US dollar and strong Yen, it's not surprising they're looking to shift more production to the USA.

    The 2011 Camry was already rated by at least one group as having the highest US content of any car sold in the USA.
