I was a very surprised that Isuzu wasn't included; but I guess since they only have one ongoing model which is really a GM product, it is not too surprising. If they really do come out with a new model (in 2007?), they will have lost most of their dealers by then, and might decide to sell it under another brand and just pull out of the consumer market all together (in the U.S.).
I don't know know how much stock to put in these rankings, but I guess I should at least change my opinion of Hyundai, after all the high marks it has been getting. Just goes to show you can't necessarily judge a vehicle by the image of its brand.
Hummers and Cayennes are very commonplace where I live (mountain resort community); and I guess most people drive them for "prestige" more than anything else, since the quality isn't anywhere near the price. Personally I am happy with my VX for the price I paid, it does what I want and turns a lot more heads than an overpriced Cayenne.
