Depends on the details and the price, neither known today.

If the hybrid is based on the six, and has *better* acceleration, that
would be kewl, if the suspension can even handle it. But you may have
to pay a fat premium to get it, while supplies are limited.

On the fuel cell, what is the fuel supposed to be, hydrogen?
Gasoline? Corn oil? I'm sure those will be so limited in number the
first year or three, they'll just go to fanatics. Your interest and
your budget will matter far more than any details of the vehicle.
