    Isuzu Trooper mentioned! Consumer Reports did them dirty with the rollover test rigging. Really hurt the sales. Glad to see them on the decline as a reputable information source.

    Yeah the spare parts are an issue for less common vehicles. I was getting some Trooper parts from Australia before the tariffs messed that up for awhile. Really a shame how many cars are scrapped by insurance. Cash for clunkers not allowing parts to be sold also didn’t help much.

      The rollover test was not “rigged”. Troopers had a stupid high center of gravity and could flip from a simple avoidance. Jeep had the same problem.

      CR changed how fake off road vehicles were made, you’re welcome.
