I’d always associated Ohio with Toyota, that’s where my Tacoma was built, Marysville I believe.
That’s pretty cool, but Toyotas are built all over the place, now. Camrys are built in Indiana (Lafayette) and Kentucky (Greenville, I think). Sequoias are built in Indiana, and Tundras are built in Texas.
Nissan has a plant in Alabama, and Honda has one in Ohio. I am not sure how many more they have in the states.
Seems like the so-called ‘foreign-car makers’ employ a lot of red-state people to me!
