I could have placed some better cars(More Embarrassing) over the Saab and Compass... I don't see either of those being that embarrassing.

If you love wagon styled crossovers I don't think the crosstour deserves it's spot either...

Yeah it's ugly but there is worse out there.

I was thinking from the GM umbrella, not Saab and Pontiac individually.
I'd have to go along with that.

Have to disagree Brian. Compass was a blatant attempt at dumping a poorly built rebadged vehicle on people just to make money off of the Jeep name. Nothing more.

The poor Crossturd is so ugly it deserves to be here... and you know how much I like Honda.

The Compass was crap and deserves to be there, it (along with the Patriot) was just a rebodied Caliber. FWD based, CVT, and 4 cylinder. A complete embarrassment to the Jeep name. Though it did look a lot better after they slapped the GC-like nose on it.

I'm in agreement with the list. I could think of a couple others I rather have in the top 10 but I can't argue with their picks either.

Compass and Patriot don't deserve a place in the Jeep lineup. I know they are trying to offer entry level vehicles but it's degrading to Jeep. The Liberty is a perfect entry level for Jeep... and it's at least a partly capable off roader.

Of course these are just OUR opinions and nobody asked us. :lol:

Until 2014 when the Liberty will be moving to the Dart's platform.

Should be interesting. If Fiat will inject some offroad capability into it I bet it does well.

I am just saying that there are at least 3 vehicles out there that are more deserving of top ten with the 3 that I mentioned.

True, but that's always the case with these 10 best or 10 worst lists. :tmc:
