Are those Hybrid Altimas actually "foreign"?
Or are they built in Tennesee ?

I should have said foreign brands. Why not domestic hybrids suitable for
US police departments ?

Which is better, a foreign name plate made in Mississippi by US labor or a
US brand made in Mexico? I know this is a continuing discussion, but it
seems to me that there is more boost to our economy by paying the US
workers. Who really cares where the profit goes? I know I'll not be getting
any of it either way.

Probably was a better choice based on cost, features and performance.

"Brand" is irrelevant. Where the car is actually built might be of
significance. However, there are few "American" cars left and fewer
still without a majority of parts sourced outside the USA.

Not to mention... I don't think there are any American hybrids
comparable to this vehicles specs.
