There are just too many to list....
Kind of a pointless article, as there really is not much to choose from anyway, and the segments are generally going to distill down to one choice. What competition does the diesel Cruze have? What other midsize diesel pickup is there to compete with the Colorado? This market is getting the shaft. :(

The article should read. "The only diesel car available is slim pickins and gettin slimmer!".

"The so-called defeat device turned off the car’s emissions control equipment (such as the urea injection system) under normal driving conditions, and turned them on only when the car was undergoing an emissions test".

Oh, so that's what VW did. Nice explanation, Rain Man.

I think that's an overstatement, simply because nobody gets their car tested in normal driving, and Urea consumption was clearly not zero. It was underdosing, for certain, but was clearly not turned off.
