That attitude worked out well for the American car companies! They will switch to more efficient cars....when people stop buying the existing models, right?

I think it's more that they'll switch to them when the people want them. By the way, hybrid car sales are decreasing since the high gas prices of 2008.

Hybrid car sales statistics have shown steady growth over most of the last five years, but sales peaked in early 2008 and have seen a steady decline in the past few months. Considering the spike in oil and gasoline prices up to about July of 2008, and their rapid decline once the economic downturn hit later in 2008, it's not surprising that sales show a peak followed by a steady drop. Take a look at this chart, which shows three data series: hybrid car sales statistics by month, a 12-month moving average of hybrid car sales, and average US gas prices per gallon, from January 2004 to March 2009:
