Well that list is obviously incorrect due to the lack of mitsubishi in it, I think the answer here is that toyota has obviously bribed consumer reports with a large sum of money. Oh no silly me, it's cause stupid short sighted mitsubishi stopped selling the montero here in the states:ylsmoke: haha

Cool. I will always see the FJ as the one that got away. Too bad they stopped making the little buggers.

What the heck kind of criteria were they using? No Rubicon or Xterra?

"cars with the best cupholders" is what I was told.

Does anyone still pay attention to Consumer Reports anymore? When a list leaves out an option like the Rubicon or the XTerra Offroad, theyre missing something.

I think theyre just trying to be nice to the embattled Toyota while everyone else screams for their heads.

Oh, and didnt they tell people that NO ONE should be buying the Lexus GX? And how is the Chevrolet 1500 a viable option for off road?

...and the winner is.

"Offroad vehicle with the least amount of visibility" followed by the H3. I don't get the micro window deal.

Consumer Reports is worthless
