I'm pretty sure that some 7th gens are still made in Japan, but they're all the K24, no V6. I think the Japanese-made 7th gens are the SULEV type that are only sold in certain states, so they aren't avaliable everywhere. I believe the VIN still starts with a "J."

But I've heard from Japan-made 7th gen drivers that they're having the same problems as the US-made 7th gens. Must be some design flaws, not necessarily place of assembly.
