Worst-Made Cars on the Road 2010
 
Quote:

If you want to drive something dependable and long-lasting, steer clear of these vehicles.

Unfortunately just because GM's cars are selling well now doesn't mean they're the best bet for durability or value -- yet. It'll take awhile before GM's new direction shows up in tangible new products at the dealership.

Four of the seven vehicles on our list of the worst-made cars on the road come from GM brands. And all of the cars on the list -- including Chrysler's Dodge Nitro and Jeep Wrangler -- are made by Detroit's Big Three. Only one car on the list is made by Ford.
1)Cadillac Escalade
2)Chevrolet Aveo
3)Chevrolet Colorado
4)Dodge Nitro
5)Ford F-250
6)GMC Canyon
7)Jeep Wrangler

Wow - Is it really possible that America sucks this bad a making cars? That is just pathetic. Personally, I'm embarrassed and I have nothing to do with it.

Define American made. Given that they're assembled all over the damn place...

oh and also, whose opinion is this and what stats is it based on? maybe you forgot the link -it's not like you to quote without?

And where did that quote come from? :eyebrow:

oh, yahoo... no wonder CM "forgot" it ;) I'll bet he claims Forbes, though....

:lol:

thanks, Tulip

That's what I thought, much of their information comes from Consumer Reports. I've long been at odds with the way they weight portions of there evaluations. Plus those fuckers bought my favorite boyhood dragstrip and turned it into a test facility. :p:

And a hearty fuck you too.

Actually I started on yahoo and dug a little further finding the referenced article. And yes, it was Forbes. So back to how shitty these cars are again...

You wanna piece of me? Start yet another thread. :scream:

hmm, a citation would be nice to the author of the list. Here's Consumer Reports' list of worst new cars:

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
Hummer H2
Ford Ranger XLT V6
Hummer H3
Jeep Liberty Sport
Smartfortwopassion (whatever the hell that is!)
Chevrolet Aveo 5 1LT
Dodge Nitro SLT
Chevrolet Aveo LT
Toyota FJ Cruiser

Something called a Dodge Nitro sounds rather dangerous. Does it blow up often? :eek:

lumberjim 04-12-2010 10:08 AM

The Nitro and the Liberty are the same car. For it to be on the list as both indicates that the design is poor.

If my Commander had been totaled (than you fsm), I would have replaced it with a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. If I have money to burn, I'd just buy a wrangler rubi to fuck around in.

What's wrong with Consumer Reports? At least they're not paid like Consumer Digest.

I'd have a hard time buying a car not recommended by CR. I can tell the writing is on the wall regarding my car, so I may buy a new one in a year or so. So -- fun research!
