Foreign hybrids versus American hybrids: Does it matter?

When it comes to hybrid vehicles, does it matter whether the hybrid is made in America or in a foreign country?

For many car buyers, the issue of American-made versus foreign-made is extremely important, but is it as important for hybrid buyers?

My focus at this point in time is hybrid technology. Whether that technology is American or not is a secondary issue. Actually, at this point in time, for me, the question is irrelevant. Since I'm not an SUV guy, and the only American hybrids available at this point in time are hybrid SUVs, such as the Ford Escape hybrid or the Mercury Mariner hybrid, I have little choice.

Is whether a hybrid is American-made, or foreign-made, important to you?
