"Reviewers love the way the Jeep Wrangler can tackle rugged trails, but hate its clumsy and unrefined road manners."

they seem to be rating SUVs capable of going off road, not off road capability. what garbage! doesn't make any sense.

when a jeep compass and a suzuki whatever makes it above a wrangler you know they are appealing towards soccer moms who don't use a jeep like it should and intended to be used for

That is a BS ranking system. I guess they are rating SUVs with 4x4 and that as far as the off road judging goes. What a joke.

Sad thing is alot of people will buy those vehicles thinking they are real 4x4's. What a crock. Anyone else notice there was no category for "Off Road" capability even though thats what the whole thing is about. I wonder how much Ford payed US News.
