only problem with that is that info is actually wrong - Edmunds had real data (and not some guy trying to figure it out from his bedroom), and that info above is actually wrong.

Lexus had IS Sportcross on sales for several years, I think it was the first wagon/hatchback of Lexus.

This list is just some random choices of vehicles chosen and personally disliked by the writer. They should either picked the poorest selling vehicles or the ones received the worst reviews by professional automotive staffers. Civic still outsold many many cars not on the list, how could it be the most disliked? It is obviously liked by many people who actually paid their hard earned money to own one. This list is the derision, not the cars in it.

Latest Recalls
JAGUAR / XF 2012

Summary:

JAGUAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 XF VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 7, 2011, THROUGH NOVEMBER 24, 2011, FOR AN INCORRECT CERTIFICATION LABEL. SINCE THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) IS STATED INCORRECTLY, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, “CERTIFICATION.”

Consequence:
CUSTOMERS MAY UNKNOWINGLY EXCEED THE GVWR. EXCEEDING THE GVWR OF THE VEHICLE, CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF VEHICLE STABILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy:
JAGUAR WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LABEL. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE JANUARY 23, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.

Notes:
JAGUAR RECALL NUMBER IS J025. OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV .

wow, not a single mention of Hyundai or Kia... (Soul was mentioned as a positive)

Their line of new cars are pretty impressive, considering they were mentioned along the same breath as Yugo, some 25 years ago...

Yeah, not really a big deal. Toyota has similar issue with Siennas having the incorrect GVWR sticker right now.

Mind you, Jag has a LONG history of being very unreliable. Surely this isn't a point to be argued.
