Yes, but 90% of Camrys are made in the USA (Japan actually imports a number of Camrys from the USA - it depends on the trim levels and other options which way they go - i.e. the hybrid model). To tell where your Camry was made, look at the VIN in the dashboard through the windshield on the driver's side.
If it starts with a '4' its USA made, if it starts with a 'J' its Japan made. Build quality is really no different between USA and Japanese made Camrys.

No, but I bet you could get an 02 Camry or any 1st year of a redesign Camry that was manufactored in Japan.
A lot of times US factories are not fully converted to make the new models by the time they are available for sale. To compensate Toyota sometimes imports cars from Japan.
For example my 03 4Runner was made in Japan, however the new ones aren't. I bought my 4Runner the month it went on sale, US Toyota factories were probably not yet fully converted to make the new 4Runners at that time. They are now, so all 4Runners are made in the US.
BTW Every Lexus except for the RX is made in Japan. The RX is made in Canada.

Possible. Sometimes they are manufactured and assembled in Japan and shipped here. (parts may come from US or Canada). I had a 1995 Camry that was made in Japan.. It lasted me 10 year + with very little problems and about 100K miles. This same year was also manufactured in US. You can tell this by the VIN starting with J. Also just got a new corolla - made in Japan as well.

Nope, some kind of government regualtion.
I believe only some of the Lexus and Scion's are built in Japan.
