I'm also looking at the young age of hybrid vehicles especially the PHEV's and I do foresee some rapid changes and improvements coming forth soon...and the thing with too much tech in one basket makes the previous champ look like chimp and obsolete in no time...
Agreed, which is why I think I will be going for the 35d now vs the 40e despite they are within the same price. Surprisingly the 35d does better on fuel consumption.
