Best Cars for the Money Awards 2012

Mazda 5 is barely a minivan and not practical, lamo article.

What matters is ,how many fur lined cup holders it has .

Since when is a suburban an affordable SUV?

And then there are those of us who will buy what we want when we want it and don't care what someone else is telling me to buy !

Why would the Miata the best the best sports car when no normal man can fit in one.

I get 52 mpg in my Toyota Prius, top that fusion.

AMC Gremlin Rocks!

My sister bought a Toyota Rav4 and hate it. Nothing But problems and going back to the dealer. She tried to return it on the 3rd day and Toyota refused to take it back. "Oh What A Feeling Toyota Gives You" A feeling of wanting to throw up after the purchase

THE RETURN OF GEO (SPECTRUM): What would I do if I were to start an auto company? Instead of going to direction of today's autos, becoming more expensive and such, I'd go another route.

1st: I'd purchase the rights to GM's defunct "Geo" nameplate.

2nd: I'd build a auto factory in the southern US. and said factory would be mostly automated. (more so than most other car companys). Doing this would allow more reasonable wages for workers since the south has lower living costs, as well as liss likely to bring in a union such as UAW. Still though, workers would recieve decent starting pay about $15.00/ hr. (UAW is half the reason auto companys have abandoned the US.) The extensive automation of the factory would mean fewer workers to hire, thus a lower operating cost.

3rd. I'd have an efficiently-built car designed and built with limited options and a simplified manufacturing process. Possibly called the "Spectrum".
Two body styles: three-door hatchback ("Triad"), or five-door hatchback ("Penta").
Every car would have AC, auto trans., power windows/ locks, keyless entry, ABS, AM/FM CD 4 spkr. stereo with i-pod / ext. audio input.

4th: To make the cars competitive, they would be equiped with plastic body panels (lower material costs and lower insurance costs) and engines built by Toyota.
The autos would sell for $13,595 (Triad) or $13,995 (Penta)

INTRODUCING THE NEW GEO SPECTRUM!

This list is so biased, please check the consumer reports. They show the real life rating for these "so called" top rated American vehicles. One should think about why they depreciate in value and why they fall apart soon.

HAHAHAHA go check out that "3rd Row" in a RAV4. BAHAHAHAHAHA

Who paid yahoo for this article?

They saved the Ram for the end because it's a dead give-away that the whole list is paid advertising.

Yeah, go ahead and buy that Escalade. It'll be gone before you even enter your front door.

I wouldn't spend a dime for anything Government Motors puts out there.

ford fiesta is not a sports car...

You don't need a rainbow sticker to prove you're gay, fellas. Just drive a Miata.

Ram 1500 won because it was the smoothest riding and had the best interior. While I beg to differ (ever been in an F-150 lately), why would you rate a pickup truck solely on comfort? It's a pickup truck! F-150 smashes it on every level for about the same price.

Mazda MX-5 Miata is the best-selling sports car in history? Best selling two seat open convertible dummy. Wish I could get paid to make mistakes on the job all the time.

why are they torturing the little engines in Rav4 with 3rd row of seats? and how comfortable it will be in that tiny space where two rows can barely accommodate? wondering what 'compact' really means now a days..
