AFIK, the Highlanders are all made in Japan currently as well as a lot of
the Camrys but not sure on others. Also AFIK all Avalons are made in US.
I saw figures on the web about this fairly recently but don't remember
specifics

You're correct on the Highlanders. They are made in Japan of Japanese parts.

Since you're in Calif, you MAY be getting Japanese Camrys, but here on
the East Coast they are 80-90% Made in USA, and the ONE Japanese Camry I
saw come onto the lot was made of 75% US parts, same as the ones made in
KY!!! No one could tell me why the Content was exactly the same as for
the US made Camrys!

ALL Scions are made in Japan, the RAV4's are; the Matrixes (uh,
Matrices?) are made in Canada, Tundras in Evanston, IN, Tacomas in
Calif. If you can find a leftover Celica, those are Japanese, the Land
Cruiser is Japanese, Echo/Yaris made in Japan...

If I missed any, let me know!

Go to www.toyota.com, click on the "About Toyota" tab, then the
"Search/Help" link, and when the Search/Help page opens, click on
"Frequently Asked Questions" and when the FAQ page opens, type "assembly" in
the search text field to see where vehicles are assembled.

From: Mike Hunter on
It depends if one is referring to the Toyota brand or Toyota Motors. If you
mean Toyota motors, the majority are made in Japan. Others like the Corolla
are assembled in Canada of mostly Japanese materials and the balance,
primarily Camrys, Siennas and Tundra's are assembled in the US of, as Toyota
now says in it ads, of 'world sourced parts.' Toyota stopped advertising
made in America last October after Honda, who actually makes the Accord in
the US of mostly US part and has a '1' as the first number of the VIN,
complained to the FTC about Toyotas false claim they made vehicles in the
US, rather than merely assembling them here. The only vehicles with a
'Toyota' brand on the grill and a '1' as the first number of the VIN, are
those made in the GM/Toyota plant in California where the UAW contract
requires at least 75% US content. The NA parts label aside, the Camry for
example has a '4' as the first number of the VIN which indicates a US total
content of less than 70%, but more than 40%. The Tundra on the other hand
has a '5' as the first number of the VIN indicating a US content of less
than 40%. All hybrid and Lexus' models are imported
