Credit where credit is due:
While Jeep is often near the bottom of the list in initial quality (for example, see http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15577 ), Edmunds.com announced today that the 2010 Wrangler is cheapest in its class in "true cost of ownership." :victory:
The "true cost of ownership" calculation includes depreciation, financing charges, taxes, insurance premiums, fuel costs, maintenance and repairs for each model. Here's the article http://www.autoobserver.com/2010/06/edmunds-names-cheapest-vehicles-to-own-in-2010.html
Wrangler was best among SUVs with MSRP in the $25K to $35K range.
