I can see both sides of this. If there is a demand, the companies can charge what they want and they will sell.
On the other hand, if they lower the prices, they may sell more.

Once a hybrid car comes along that has all the reliability of non-hybrid cars, I am sure the prices will go down at first. Then when the hybrids start to become more like other cars where the bells and whistles start to be piled on to make each new car more "sexy" and more fun, then the cars will go up in price to make those buyers happy who want the newest perks.

I agree. They will start making them with all the accessories and then the prices will be going up too.

Now everyone is not able to afford hybrid cars, but they are growing in numbers. Very soon, saturation will reach and we may expect a fall in price.

When hybrid cars reaches a critical mass and become mainstream, prices will definitely drop with stabilzation of demand and increase of supply.

It all depends on the production. Make more hybrids, You get more buyers, more will tell the tale, Popularity kicks in. Make less hybrids, You get big buyers, but less to tell the tale.

In the future, hybrids will be rampant and the manufacturers will strip the prices down in order to cope up with the competition. I think the prices will go down eventually.
