Question: Is there a particular reason on why the Nissan Cube being excluded from the list? MSRP above $10000? Because for $3000 more, it does have more standard features than the Versa, like std ABS, Stability Control/Traction Control, A/C, and even stereo system! With plenty of 09 in the market, I would think that the dealers would be willing to give a good deal on them...

I'm glad to see you guys writing some pieces on used cars! It's a more informagtive and entertaining subject matter than new cars, which seem to get way too much PR-fueled coverage. Love it. Can other "top ten" lists be far off?

Any reason that "NO" American cars are ever included?? Is it because Japan America says "NO"!!!!

3 of the 10 cars are Fords. Ford is based in Dearborn, Michigan, US of A.
