I didn't know the hybrid was even in the pipeline when I bought mine. I would have waited.

Almost all of our driving is in the city and the hybrid come pretty well loaded, which helps justify the price premium.

In any event, I'm still happy with the one we got, and Lady O loves it.

to be fair, the hybrid appears to be about a $4k premium over what you got...would it still have been worth it?
When you've lost the argument, admit defeat and hit the smite button.

Plus, isn't it a 'mild' hybrid?  Can it drive on EV alone like a prius equivalent?
