2016 VW Jetta
Since VW can no longer sell a diesel-powered Jetta (or any other diesel-powered car) it looks like hybrids - and high cost - are in our future.
The TDI engine is gone...
2011 Dodge Nitro
The Dodge Nitro isn't a favorite of car journalists.
Google reviews of this chunky little SUV and you'll see it gets slammed a lot. It has a silly name (ok, fair enough)....
