David, the ES is FWD...how many times do we have to tell you?
The Lexus website says it, all Lexus ES articles say it, Wikipedia says it, Toyota says it!!

Why is the "Camry" and "Camry Hybrid" listed as a separate car? They share all the same body panels and interior

probably because they are the same car but different categories.

Shouldn't the Odyssy be on that list?

The list is titled North American car production, not sales. Perhaps those missing entries are due to vehicles mfrd outside N.A. That would make sense for the Highlander and ES are not on the list. But I thought the Oddysey was made here, guess not.
