Just curious....Does anyone on this Forum know where these pre production models currently hitting dealers for demo were produced...Indiana or Japan?...Were the auto show cars produced in Japan?

As this vehicle is for North America only at this point I think the only place it will be currently manufactured is in the US.

Every door plate I've checked so far says Indiana.

The Ascent is only for the US Market and all assembly is done in Indiana. The VIZIV model that the Ascent is based upon was made in Japan, but that's it.
Note that doesn't mean the stamping dies weren't made over there and then shipped here, that's typically how it's done. And, of course, the engine final assembly is done here, but the actual engine casting was done over there because that's where our engine casting plant is.

I thought it was going to be sold in Canada as well?

Carl said US only which is why I questioned it.

Yes, it will also be sold in Canada, and can already be found in Subaru Canada press releases and on their site.

US Market includes Canada - as opposed to European or Asian Market ... Sorry, just a dealer-speak thing that worked its into my real world talk.
