And I have taken my CD out at VIR. While it isn't a regular track day car, it is a fun substitute when your race car breaks and you have to use the tow vehicle instead.

The new SEH is "supposed" to be vastly improved over the old pure hybrid model (it had old technology batteries and only 45hp motor, where the new one has Lithium Ion, holds 5x the charge and has a 95hp motor). I did drive the 14 pana SEH with the exact eHybrid set up and was very pleased. I have not found a diesel in stock to test (they all seem to be sold). And as far as testing the 2015, if I order now (which is my goal), I will not have that option.
