The Dodge Nitro, released for 2007, was a badge engineered variant of the Jeep Liberty with most of its off-road equipment removed. "Consumer Reports" slammed the Nitro, stating that its cramped interior and sluggish engine made it "a chore to drive", and was unable to name a single redeeming quality the car had. "Forbes" subsequently named the Nitro one of the worst cars on the market in 2007. "The Truth About Cars" listed the Nitro as one of the ten worst cars of 2008, saying of it, "Do you think [the French] care that we put panties on a few prisoners’ heads? No, they abhor our conspicuous consumption and tough-guy dress-up routines. To show them we have a sense of humor, we should send them the Dodge Nitro: a slow, cramped, artless knockoff of a HUMMER H2." "ConsumerGuide" named the Nitro one of "The Worst Cars of the Past Ten Years"; "Desperate to compete in the exploding crossover market, Dodge tapped Jeep for a vehicle it could restyle and make its own. The result was the Nitro, an SUV that inherited all of its host vehicle’s flaws without the promise of serious off-road capability." Australian used car review site "ReDriven" named the Nitro #2 on their list "The 5 Worst Cars You Can Buy Today", describing it as "utter crap" with "horrifically shoddy build quality" while raising questions about service and parts given that the Dodge brand no longer does business in Australia, before concluding, "The only viable reason for buying a Dodge Nitro is [to utilize it for scrap metal]."
