Most of those consumer reports and car reviews are biased and the information can be twisted to say whatever they want. Until you've actually driven one for yourself, as far as I'm concerned, your opinion doesn't matter. The Nitro is actually built off of the 2008 Jeep Liberty and has a frame that is meant to be abused off road. So even if they could put a 6.1L Hemi in it, it would take that power in stride.
