Volt v. Tesla: Angus manages revolutionary expectations

"One of the most fascinating decades" in automotive history

When it comes to diesel vehicles, I think Angus MacKenzie of MotorTrend has inhaled a few to many fumes.

However, while Angus focuses on vehicles like the Chevy Volt and the Tesla Roadster, I do think he, and much of the auto industry, is in a bit of hybrid denial.
