So I did a google map search to see the places for different plants: Main (Prefecture?) and Yajima Plants. Luckily, I was able to get them both on the same image as they are really close.

Just to clarify: on the web page shown by Tranzformer there are the Main plant and Yajima plant. From the page, it said the main plant produces the small cars (R2, R1, Pleo, Sambar and Stella) while the Yajima plant produces the Legacy, Exiga, Impreza and Forester. I believe it is this main plant that will be producing the FR-S/BRZ and the production of those smaller cars are moved to Daihatsu.

PS: both plants are all located at Ota city, Gunma Perfecture. Ota city is about 50KM or so away from the Shibukawa city, which is the major city outside of the small town where the comic Initial D is based on.
