Jeep Wrangler Unlimited = HUGE following of owners who buy these vehicles repeatedly
Hummer H3 (5-cyl) = High owner satisfaction
Jeep Liberty Sport = Own the Liberty Renegade - GREAT little SUV, especially for the money.
Dodge Nitro SLT = Jeep Patriot Limited = Same basic vehicle, aren't they?

My summary= Stupid CR judging all vehicles against a Honda Accord, not realizing that purpose built SUV's aren't marketed towards people who care much about ride quality or engine noise, etc.

I've had my 2005 Trailblazer LT for 3 years now. No problems here. Gas, oil, brakes, and a battery is all it's cost me.

I think the FJ is one of the ugliest cars ever.

On the other hand, Toyota had two vehicles in the 11 worst cars list, which must be a first for CR.

Toyota is obviously behind on the Consumer Reports payments. Honda paid on time though it seems.

Seems Toyota has been using that money for NASCAR instead...

Isnt it amazing, 99% of the time they list the top ten, or worst ten, but no, they had to go to 11 just to justify adding a Ford, Im serious, I honestly believe that...
