They need to do some damage control here.

Not good, although it's seems a bit nasty to list the nitro/liberty when they're basically the same vehicle with different sheet metal.

I was going to say the same thing, that's like naming the Aspen the best SUV in the country and the Durango as the second best because swapping out the sheet metal and badge makes a big difference.

I don't put much stock in any of those lists or CR or JD power and asshats.  They all have their own agendas to push and it's not hard to see that their polling techniques are biased and skewed in some direction.  It's pretty easy to make a statistic say what you want it to say.

QFT, statistics are almost never reliable.

More like 84% of statisticians do enough surveys to find one that fits with what they want to support.  If you do enough surveys eventually one of them will come out against the norm and many others will not fit the norm.  You just need to quote the one that you like the most.

Say what you guys want about stats, it's still bad press for chrysler.  The news on allpar doesn't seem to be good either.  The more bad press chrysler gets the worse their sales will be.  This could be a sinking ship, and seeing as how chrysler has the worst performing mpg vehicles on the road that might not be such a bad thing.

[no spoiler]

They're mpg is improving, they're just doing it in a different segment of vehicle.  Small cars get good mileage anyways, getting our big ass trucks and suvs that everyone likes to drive around out of the teens for mpg will go a long way to saving fuel.  It may not be a lot of savings per vehicle but it adds up when thousands of them are sold.
