The Toyota Matrix (on which the Vibe is based) is built in Cambridge by
Toyota, not NUMMI.

The Vibe is built at the NUMMI plant in Fremont, CA. The plant also
produces the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Tacoma. It also produced the
Toyota Voltz, a right-hand drive version of the Vibe for sale in Japan,
but with very low sales, Toyota stopped importing them in 2004.

The Toyota Corolla/Matrix has about 70% US/Canada parts content, just
like the Civic.
