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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!
