A lot of folks here think the exact same way how GM, Ford, and Daimler-Chrysler has been thinking - that "oh, gas will subside a bit and the costs will lower itself." That's why they're all doing so shitty while Honda and Toyota have only been seeing *increases* in sales.
Uhhhh...what if it keeps on going up and only up? Sure, $3.70/gal - wait until it hits European-style $8.00/gal and then *maybe* paying the costly premium of the hybrid might actually save some money.
BMW is actually interesting - it's doing nothing in the domain of hybrids (at least not for its consumers) yet its sales have actually increased relative to previous quarters, unlike our American (failure) counterparts.
