The Prius isn't assembled in America like many other models - it's still made in Japan [0]. I'm sure there are at least a few American components but it's actually one of the least American Toyota models.
Other Toyota models like the Sienna, Tundra, and Camry are indeed made in the USA.
As for BMW, X3s, X5s, and X6es (even for their own domestic market) are made in South Carolina, but their sedans and coupes are made in a variety of other sites (Germany, South Africa, Mexico, others).
So you're right that many foreign cars are more American than they'd seem, but in the case of the Prius, not so.
