It's kinda like those Republicans you spoke of. Their opinions on Obama (like a choice in a different driving machine) would be far different if it wouldn't cost them the a future election. Some people as usual without accurate knowledge, just have to follow the Jones.
So the 99% of BMW car purchasers in the US in 2009 that picked a gasoline engine model, compared to the 1% that picked a diesel model, were just ill-informed? Looks like BMW has some education to do then.
