I never had a bad Mopar vehicle but it seems that they always got bad reviews in Consumer Reports rag and other "consumer' propaganda publications. A few days ago I read an online article titled "ten best cars and ten worst cars in 2010", with credit given to CR and Forbes mags.

Yes and no. Those older diesels may well have killed off diesel for good. Before Common Rail Diesels, diesels were heavy, noisy, dirty and frankly crude.
The lighter, cleaner, quieter, more efficient diesels of today owe a lot of that improvement to the effort to clean up the environment.
Todays diesels are cleaner than gasoline engines and the exhaust of both gasoline and diesel engines today is cleaner than the intake air of the City of Los Angeles. Think about that for a minute, the exhaust is cleaner than the ambient air in LA.
