No, they are all assembled in the US, although engines and some other major components come from Europe.
The line will most likely ramp up with model variations being added every few months, which is why RHD and Euro models will likely be somewhat later.
And for Bozo, there have been several reports that the world premier is Nov 24 2006, at the LA show, with dealer premiers starting Nov 25.
