As for the 300de- as much as I'm tempted by a diesel plugin hybrid- this particular implementation is clearly an add-on to an already existing diesel model.. the battery placement (attempt..) is just ridiculous - looks like a DIY..
Wow, had a quick look at the video to see what you meant! Doesn't that just show that the whole platform needs to be built from the ground up for hybrid! I honestly can't believe they've just essentially stuck the batteries in the boot with a carpet over them! I'd say 90% of estate buyers want a large flat load area!
