Rather, we're bemoaning the fact that, unlike as in past model years, there's a dearth of truly wretched cars on the market for us to openly and readily ridicule.

Do people just not know English anymore? Get an editor, people!!

No Ford’s or Toyota’s. I’m in the market for something to replace my 2007 Explorer and it’s between a Ford Edge and a Toyota Tacoma. I’m leaning heavily towards the Taco, as I am not happy with any of the local Ford dealers for various reasons and I had an ‘85 Toyota truck that was the best freakin vehicle I ever owned.

Lots of Fiat products on that list, not surprisingly!

Lets not forget the Chrysler 300 with hacker enabled uncontrollable acceleration and braking to the gear shift control that is less than ‘intuative”.

Other than that it rides like its on rails!

What is wrong with using dearth?

It is both used and spelled properly.

The context indicates that the article provides a lot of examples of bad cars--not a dearth of them.

That's how I read it.

I have an older 300 and love it, though it’s always had a few quirks.

Jeeps have turned into POSs since the govt bailout.takeover of Chrysler, and ultimate acquisition by FIAT.

My family purchased a Jeep Cherokke Laredo in 1988 and it ran well over 25 years and racked nearly 275K miles.

I would bet anything these new ones barely make it to 150K

Lol...so their complaint with the Wrangler is ride comfort, wind noise, etc. In other words, they don’t like the Jeep because it’s a Jeep. If you want world class performance in a sports sedan you’re looking at paying hundreds of thousands of dollars. World class performance in a true production sports car will take you into the millions. But if you want world class performance in an off-road vehicle you can get a Rubicon starting around $40K. The complaints no doubt, come from the soccer mom mall crawlers who buy a Wrangler thinking its another khaki pants SUV, and then complain that it rides like an off-road vehicle originally designed to win wars, which is, at its core, what it is.

Have a friend with an older Cherokee - has a lot of miles, but it also rides weird and sounds like a bucket of bolts.

13. Nissan Titan

This is an old article. They are basing this opinion on the old Titan. The new and improved Titan has been on the market for months now.

Interestingly enough, the Jeep Wrangler makes the KBB list of 10 best SUV’s...

Maybe they had thirty seven last time and are now down to fifteen! That would be a dearth.
