Honda, GM get two vehicles each on Top 10 list

(November 23, 2010) Honda and General Motors each landed two cars on Car and Driver's annual 10 Best Cars of 2011 released today.

Honda's subcompact Fit and top-selling mid-sized Accord were named to the list. The Chevrolet Volt, which is gobbling up awards at a frantic pace, and the Cadillac CTS-V also made the list.

Other winners were the BMW 3-Series, the Ford Mustang GT, the Hyundai Sonata, the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the Prosche Boxster/Cayman, and the Volkswagen Golf/GTI.

Car and Driver says of its picks:

"Was it all perfect? No. But perfection is a funny thing—just ask Toyota. It is elusive. Slippery. None of the winning cars is ultimately perfect, but each one is as close as you can get for less than $80,000. They all fulfill their intended missions; they all make you feel smart; and they all practically grab you by the lapels and pull you in for a drive. More important than actual perfection may be that these cars are constantly evolving toward that impossibility."
