im assuming these will be made in japan?. or malaysia? 

Why the question ?

Scorpions most probably in Japan, Curados I would say Japan too but I could be wrong.

To me it´s not about where was it made but by whom what matters.

doesnt much matter was just curious

Since the Curado 200I is made in Malaysia, the assumption by many folks is that the CU70 will also be made in Malaysia as well.

As Raul said, who cares where it's made as long as it is being sold by Shimano and produced under their quality management system processes. Plus, the machines and tooling in Malaysia, being perhaps newer than those in the plant(s) in Japan, might actually produce LESS variation and better dimensional control. Something to think about...

I own many Shimano, Lew's, daiwa, and Abu reels in the $300+ category.

None of them have a better build quality than my Curado I's (not saying they're a better reel than a MGX or a Metanium, but they don't suffer at all from poor production). They're also built in Malaysia.

It's arguable to say it's crappy to move production from one country to another, for many reasons. But in the case of Shimano, I don't think build quality has suffered at all.

Probably Malaysia. Apparently the Malaysian factory is sweet but I'm going off customer service info there.
