Toyota began building the Highlander at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana Inc. last fall but has continued importing units from a plant in Kyushu, Japan. Imports accounted for 1,165 units, or 17 percent, of the 7,026 Highlanders sold in the United States in April. Toyota now plans to shift all Highlander production for North America to Indiana, spokesman Paul Nolasco said. The move does not affect hybrid Highlanders or Highlanders bound for Australia. Those will continue to be manufactured in Kyushu, he said. |
