If the price of the <em>Hybrid cars</em> rises sharply, Automobile companies will make more <em>Hybrid cars</em> so as to take advantage of the situation and make more profit.
This would reduce the amount of inputs that they have available for <em>regular cars</em> and so they will make less <em>regular cars. </em>
