#28 of 29 Prius is made in Japan by ace27 Sep 28, 2008 (8:40 am)
Keep in mind that most of the new camrys are made in the American plant in Georgetown, Kentucky. However, the prius' are made in Japan. I have had a friend who bought a 2007 camry made here and is already having engine troubles and some materials falling apart. My 1995 camry (made in japan) is at 238,000 miles and still running. We must face the fact that Japanese quality is superior. So, if you want a car that will last you longer without giving you any problems, the prius is the way to go. Unless, you are lucky enough to get one of the few new camrys made in Japan. Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Sep 28, 2008 5:15 pm)

Replying to: ace27 (Sep 28, 2008 8:40 am) I do not agree. I have had USA built Toyotas that have been perfect for well over 100,000 miles. On the other hand, my one that was produced in Japan had several issues that, although minor (rattles and squeaks), were still annoying to have to go back and have corrected. An '07 Camry with engine problems? Rare, very very rare. You'll be fine with either. By the way, Toyota plans to produce the Prius in the USA in the next few years.
