Not a single one is made in this country; Toyota doesn't trust Americans not to blemish their prized Lexus brand. I personally feel that Lexus is an incredibly cheesy brand for incredibly cheesy people. That said, Buick has given up on the smaller sporty cars like the Skylark that were pretty sharp back in the day, and I think that is a real lost opportunity.

Jaguar, which Indian car giant Tata Motors Ltd. bought from Ford in 2007, remains a relatively small-volume brand in the U.S. It sold just 14,000 vehicles here in 2008, while Buick sold 128,000.

why does lexus have to be made here? ford doesn't make cars in every country it sells in.
