As a journalist who covers the auto industry, it's not my job to stick up for companies. Very much the opposite, in some cases. But I do feel some sympathy. They're all barrelling toward an eventual all-electric future, and how eventual that is depends on who you ask. In the meantime, getting their customers' wants and needs to match up with toughening emissions rules, all while running a capital-intensive business that takes years to plan out, is... hard, to say the least.
