    I recently read that the Toyota Crown is assembled in Japan. Has there been any hints of tariffs there?

      Correct, that is JP built, along with a cpuple other small name models… And trump has flat said everything imported is gonna see a minimum 10% tax. seeing as how the Crown made up for <1% of toyota’s total sales volume for q3 2024, I doubt there’s going to be a huge overall impact to their sales competitiveness vs the Big 3’s entire lineup though

        The Camry is imported from Japan. And the Rav4 from Canada.

      I’ve never even heard of that model; I could be wrong but I’m having a hard time imagining it makes up a very sizeable chunk of their inventory or sales ledger

        Me either. I looked it up and I’ve seen one in town parked at Hobby Lobby. It’s an EV or Hybrid crossover that’s replaced the Avalon And it costs Mercedes money anyway so I don’t see how a tariff will matter to potential customers.
