Final assembly here saves a chunk of change for foreign manufactures. If memory serves, the Nissan trucks basically had the box bolted on here. I know this does not account for Accords and Camry's. However, major technical components, engines, trannies, e.g., commonly come in from foreign labor with sheet metal and seats inserted here. That tax, and the exemption for many years from full safety requirements and CAFE requirements helped fuel the SUV/pickup truck craze. Even Subies are now technically trucks for federal regulatory purposes.
