Caveats

• "Import" = built in Japan. Many same-name models are US-built (RAV4 Georgetown KY, Camry Georgetown, CR-V Ohio/Indiana, Civic Indiana, Corolla Alabama/Mississippi).
• JADA tracks Japanese-brand sales; above = Japan-built share.
• Lexus (RX, NX, ES) also significant imports — not in top 10 volume but high value.
• 2023–24: EV imports rising (Toyota bZ4X, Subaru Solterra, Nissan Ariya — all Japan-built).
