Subaru actually makes many Camrys for Toyota.......In Subarus Indiana factory.

I know the following Hondas are made in Japan:
-All hybrids (only Civic for now, but the new Insight & the 'sport hybrid' will be made there as well (Suzuka). All original Insights & Accord Hybrids were made in Japan (Accord was built in Saiyama). The Hybrids are largely hand-built, believe it or not.
-All S2000 (all years). Again, largely hand-built, since late 2003 in Suzuka - I forget the plant for the 2000-2003 run, and too lazy to go look it up at the moment).
-All Fit. (but probably not past this year - at least some of the cars will be US-built starting MY 2010, in either OH or IN). For now, all USDM Fits are sourced from Japan.
-A very few Accords (mainly EX trim with the 190HP L4). All V6 Accords are US-built, btw.
-A very few Civics (excluding hybrid, above) - mainly EX w/ 5-speed.
- A very few CR-V (mostly EX-L trim); some LX trims are made in Mexico (VIN starts with '3').
If you're looking for a J-VIN Honda, and it's not part of the 'exclusive' club, the best time is right after a model switchover - I think they do this to both help ramp up the production lines (not that it takes that long for Honda to switch them over), and to familiarize the JDM line workers with the new model.
As it turns out, all 3 of our Hondas are J-VIN cars - We have a Civic Hybrid, an S2000, and an EX-L CRV. We've owned US-built Hondas, too - and I think the better put-together ones have been the J-VINs.

Subaru Forester is made there. Every 2009 I've seen so far.

Probably because some in the U.S. have made it derogatory (back from WWII?). I work for a British company and they're always shocked when I tell them that. To them, and to a lot of people, it's short for a nationality much the same way Brit is. Oops, is that censored?
Congrats to those that actually read and responded to the post and not just the subject.

All Priuses are made in Japan, the plant to build them in the USA in Miss. has been delayed due to the credit crisis. Presumably once car demand picks up again the plant will be put into operation. But for now, all are from Japan.

Both my '07 Infiniti G35x and '07 Honda CR-V EX AWD were assembled in Japan.
The Suzuki SX4 is also a 100% Japanese import.

It is a derogatory name for a person of Japanese decent.

Oh, forgot to answer the question. Our 08 G35X is made in Japan and our 06 Odyssey is made in the USA
I found it interesting that while the Mazda 6 is made in the U.S., the Mazdaspeed 6 is made in Japan. Parts are a fun wait for those with rear differential issues.
M1Accord... Just curious as to why the question?

That's right. Fuji Heavy used the space once devoted to building Isuzu Rodeos and turned it around to build Camrys.
OT, but my Inlaws new Nissan Rogue was built in Japan.

No worries...
As I understand it... The Canadian plant is the only plant anywhere outside of Japan that makes Lexus. Yay us!
