Prius plant in America - Do you care?
An American-made foreign oil dependency fighter?Now that Toyota is offering buyouts for US workers and cutting pay for everyone, a new US plant to develop Prius hybrids - in America - appears dead.
Do you care? Many don't because it's a foreign company.
Yet, when the first Chevy Volt hits the street in 2010, it will be manufactured with an imported engine and an imported battery - the most critical component in the vehicle.
Do you care?
Couldn't having significant numbers of Toyota hybrid vehicles built in America help develop a US battery industry? Wouldn't that be a good thing?
Is this the time for nationalism, or the intelligent acceptance of the global economy?

Build them here. Americans need the jobs.
My next car will be a hybrid. I'd rather have it produced here and we are very satisfied with our first Prius.
Mexican built Fusion hybrid or Mississippi built Prius?
I'm with you KP.
