Dodge Dakota: Marketed for more than two decades, the Dodge Dakota took home the IQS award last year, ranking highest in its segment. That honor reflects the Dakota's design quality, as well as the number of defects and malfunctions experienced by buyers during the first 90 days of ownership. Facelifted for 2008, the Dakota features a restyled hood, grille, fenders, and headlights. A new 4.7-liter V-8 engine delivers 302 hp (up 31 percent compared to its predecessor) and is E85-compatible. Inside are a new instrument panel and console, and heated seats are available. Offered in six trim levels, the Dakota comes with an extended cab or crew cab body.
