I think the moment the article mentions "Big Oil" and conspiracies to keep the Jetta Bluemotion out of the USA (why stop there? why even allow the regular Jetta TDI, then? ), my eyes glazed over.

What an ignorant, conspiracy-mongering piece of drivel. One that doesn't address the fact that Big Oil didn't stop the Tesla, the Aptera (no, wonky financials did them in), the Leaf or the Volt...
