Kluger is not made here. They have considered it, but no word as yet. Since it's off the same Camry/Aurion platform could make sense to do it.

Therefore Toyota locally built sales are only 3311. Put another way, only 17% of their total sales are locals, 83% are imports. By comparison, Ford sells 62% local, just 38% imports.

Clearly 6162 Ford sales is at the plant capacity. They will most probably have to up the line rate from 260 (thanks Barraxr8!) as that limits output to 6000/month.
