(January 5, 2015) SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Car shopping destination Edmunds.com has announced that Honda secured the most hardware in the 2016 "Most Popular on Edmunds.com" Awards. The brand won six awards, ranging from Most Popular Crossover Compact SUV (Honda CR-V) to Most Popular Subcompact Car (Honda Fit).

Chevrolet earned the second-most 2016 "Most Popular on Edmunds.com" Awards, with four. Its haul was led by the Chevrolet Corvette, which was named the Most Popular Midrange Sport Car. Ford was the only other automaker to win multiple awards, taking home two prizes.

"What makes these awards truly unusual is that they're decided by a comprehensive audience of millions of car shoppers on Edmunds.com," says Edmunds.com CEO Avi Steinlauf. "Because these accolades are determined by shoppers — and shoppers only — it's a testament to just how well the winning automakers' product and marketing efforts have resonated with the public."

The 2016 "Most Popular on Edmunds.com" Awards recognizes one vehicle in each of 20 different segments. Winners were determined by identifying the new models in each vehicle segment with the highest total car-shopper consideration from January 2015 through Nov. 16, 2015.

"Consideration" means, for each vehicle model, the number of monthly unique visitors to the new-car research and inventory pages for that model on Edmunds.com's desktop site.
