So not all Bluetec cars use adblue?
I've seen two E class cars and the M class, of the ones with the "Bluetec" badge, all of them used diesel exhaust fluid. BMW's new diesels also use it.

I started regularly reading CR in the late '80s. Sometime in the mid '90 they started writing very subjectively but stopping short of endorsements. When the Honda Insight came out, they also ignored the cost of future battery replacements, as if it's not even applicable.
