The odds are pretty good that any Toyota we see on the road is made in the US. I’ve heard about the myth been talked about that Toyotas made in Japan are better quality than those made in the US. But it was never confirmed. Is the difference caused by the differences in political, economic, and legal systems of the two countries?
