"USA imports" daily driver, whats good?

The CR-V is one that I'm thinking about. And even though they are Ugly of sorts, a Honda Element. Also Hyundai/Kia Tuson type SUV. I don't mind ugly. I had a 09 Jeep Patriot. Was a good vehicle , but just out of warranty had major electronics issues ( Chrysler pretty much lost a life long customer) so I lost faith in Chrysler/fiat/diamler/lawnboy/remco motors.
