Just got the new issue of Autoweek, and they did a test on a new Liberty. It rolled twice on their slalom test. Wonder if Consumer's Report will kill it like they did our Zuks. I doubt it.

Of course, it may have something to do with them still licking their wounds after Isuzu got done with them. Even still, they'll find someone to pick on.

There is no way that the Liberty will get a bad rating similar to the Samurai. The J**p name is too respected in America to have a bad mark on it. I estimate that they will mark it high on their standards for best SUV of the year. This just affirms my thoughts that they do not know much about what real 4 wheel drive vehicles are supposed to do. They are supposed to climb, rock, and all in all be a great recreational vehicle. There is no way you can ever compare a Samurai with a Porshe, so why even try?

The little Suzuki always tends to amaze!

I wonder how long it'll be before idiots realize they can't treat vehicles with a higher center of mass like a corvette, bmw, porsche, etc...

I wonder how long it'll be before they require specific designations on the driver licenses for SUV's. I'm sure it wouldn't affect OHV enthusiasts but the idiot yuppies might be prevented from driving these things and endangering people... I mean for example they require specific designations for road tractor operators, etc, so why not for something that can also be somewhat dangerous like the SUV? Ok, I'll shut up...
