My personal opinion is that I don't think this is smart business. When/If problems arise it will be easy to point that direction and it equates to building GM cars at a Ford plant or vice versa. Just should not be done but the profit margin is what drives everything. Toyota wants more production and this is the short path to achieve that goal.

You got it all wrong. Read the article closely. It's called SIA. They make cars for Toyota and Subaru.

It's NOT Subaru making Toyotas.

And Toyota bought out all of GM's shares in Subaru.

They have a controlling interest in how things are run here.

Stand by for a HighBeca or Camlander

Is that the reason that "SIA" is "Subaru of Indiana Automotive"

I'd definitely say that is Subaru building Toyota Camrys or would you like to try another spin on reality?

During WWII, everybody made jeeps because they were in great demand for the war effort. Toyota is in a war with GM!

So now we just have to sit around and wait for them to hit the lots so we can learn the vin sequences and odd characteristics. Something will be different, like a squeeky back seat or something!

Or like mentioned above, a 300hp Turbo H4 Camry would rock!

Not globalization but nationalization of the camry and work force. too bad they cannot open a plant in the Bronx and build it there...hehehehehe

They are on the lots....we have about a dozen in-stock from the Lafayette, IN plant. VIN's start with "4T4" instead of the "4T1" from Georgetown or "JTN" from Japan.

Don't laugh but do you notice any differences as far as paint, driving qualities, anything other than the VIN?

Can you tell an Indiana version from a Kentucky version while blinfolded?
