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!

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.

13. Nissan Titan

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

Now you tell me, just when I was about to trade in my 57 Bel Air. Guess I’ll have to put another couple 100,000 miles on it.

Thanks for the list. BMW 7 series? Why? Pretty innovative stuff in it.

Fiat/Chrysler/Jeep leads with 5 of the 15. 2 each from Ford, Nissan/Renault and Mitsubishi. One from Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, GM, and BMW.

Looks like Toyota and Honda are still the best bet, followed by the Koreans.

Haha! Former CJ7 owner here. Can’t vouch for the newer models as far as reliability but the complaint on the Jeep Wrangler that it gets noisy at higher speeds?... Seriously? Hello?...

Gee, it probably gets too bumpy when it’s not on pavement as well. But then again, the folks who can afford new Jeeps these days are not the sort who would dare take them off road, I suspect. Probably even slow down to a crawl for the speed bumps in the mall parking lot...

I wouldn't drive a Jeep Wrangler if they were free! I have driven Cheve Surburbans and Tahoe since the beginning and they didn't make the list. The best vehicle on the road.

I rode in a Cadillac XTS last month. The driver complained about the site lines, and I had trouble getting out of the passenger side. Maybe the seat wasn’t adjusted properly, but I wasn’t impressed by the ergonomics of ingress/egress.

Jeep Wranglers are holding value. Even used ones now cost more than they cost new.
