X3 x30e

Any thoughts on the X3 hybrid? I know it's a weirdo iteration of hybrid, but it might actually work well for my use case (mostly short trips with a few long hauls for vacation once or twice a year.)

It gets that awkward ledge in the rear cargo area that X3s with spare tires also get, which isn't great. But, I could probably live with that--as I would have no doubt ordered a spare tire in any X3 I'd spec (isn't available for the hybrid.)

I also wonder about the ramifications of their having moved the gas tank rearward. I hope they crash tested that scenario...or perhaps they learned something from the X5 implementation.

The federal tax credit is some $5,800k and change...
