Maybe I would have been a little more enthusiastic if the Liberty had a Mercedes engine in it.
My apologies.

Oh you don't have to apologize or anything ... I'm not horribly offended (Bronson might have hurt feelings, though ...). I just get tired of having to tell people it doesn't get 11 mpg. We all have our preferences and it's no big deal to voice them .. it's just that certain vehicles seem to get an unnecessary amount of vitriol shot toward them (it's not like you're the only one doing it ... it seems each vehicle or type of vehicle has its own anti-club) and my little Jeep is one of them.
That said I've got no beef with some humor and jesting .. after all, I have a window sticker on my CRD that says "Real cars don't have spark plugs" ...  (despite the many fine vehicles available that do the Otto cycle bit).
