have you ever spent any time behind the wheel of one? everything you said is misleading, imho.
the dash is polished aluminum and carbon fiber. everything else is either leather or carpet. i've lost my nerve before the tires lost adhesion on turns (80+ mph). and they ride better than any japanese car i've ever been in, outside of a lexus ls400. you have to keep the tires inflated to the recommended poundage and check the fluids regularly, but outside of that we've had zero problems with the '02.
i did have leather seats put in it before i picked it up, but they are OEM.
there are sites dedicated to their off-road ability with slight mods to the suspension. i was thinking about buying the wife a new car and taking the liberty for my own vehicle.
it's been years since i've driven one, but the last time i was in a wrangler i thought i was going to have to have a kidney transplant.

yeah but i was gonna buy the cheapo base model and the saturn is a much better buy (powertrain/interior speaking) not to mention i hate the styling of the liberty but thats only opinion which doesnt really matter

The last Street Wars (domestic vs import) i went to at englishtown lasted 12 hours or so, only about 2 or 3 were actual racing, the other 8 or 9 hours were all the domestics waiting for the officials to clean the tracks off cause the imports kept breaking. They were dropping trans pans and cracking blocks and whatnot left and right. i would say out of every 10 imports to line up on the starting line only about 2 or 3 made it all the way down the track. Sad track record. Imports reliable? About as reliable as me if you ask me to do something within 15 minutes of waking up.
I was driving past a Honda dealership yesterday and there was a banner there. It said, "All Honda's, 0% Interest!!!" I was like, "yeah, my thought's exactly."
