Car and Driver 10Best
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2007) |
Car and Driver 10Best is a list annually produced by Car and Driver (C/D), nominating what it considers the ten best cars of the year. C/D also produces the 5Best list, highlighting what it considers the five best trucks of the year.
All production vehicles for sale in that calendar year are considered with these restrictions:
- The vehicle must be on sale by January
- It must be priced below 2.5 times the average price of a car that year
- The manufacturer must provide an example for testing
- Only substantially changed or new vehicles and the past year's 10 best winners are nominated
The magazine sometimes selects a specific trim and other times a whole family of vehicles.
Top Ten Marques
From 1983 through 2008, the following marques were represented on the list the most times, including both the car and truck lists (except for the 2008 trucks).
| Rank | Marque | Number of wins |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Honda | 73 |
| 2 | Toyota | 27 |
| 3 | BMW | 24 |
| 4 | Mazda | 23 |
| 5 | Chevrolet | 21 |
| 6 | Acura | 16 |
| 7 | Porsche | 15 |
| 7 | Nissan | 15 |
| 7 | Audi | 15 |
| 10 | Chrysler | 13 |
Top Manufacturers
Further breaking down the marques into their controlling manufacturers amplifies Honda's dominance of the contest over the last 25 years.
Note that this number is skewed by the multiple products picked over the years. For example, the Chrysler minivans were picked three times, totalling 8 "points" for Chrysler from three wins. The Diamond-Star cars were a similar problem, double-dipping "points" for both Mitsubishi, Plymouth, and Eagle. These situations were not "fixed"; rather, they are left as-is, skewing the totals.
Note also that changing ownership can affect the count. Chrysler and Dodge products from 1999 through 2007 were counted for Daimler-Benz/DaimlerChrysler/Daimler AG, as that company had wholly acquired Chrysler in that period. Similarly, Saab's post-2000 products, had they won a place on the list, would be counted for General Motors. Despite strong corporate ties through this period, Mazda remains separate from Ford, Subaru from General Motors and Toyota, Nissan from Renault, and Mitsubishi from Chrysler.
| Rank | Manufacturer | Number of wins |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Honda Motor Company | 80 |
| 2 | Toyota Motor Company | 38 |
| 3 | General Motors | 31 |
| 4 | Chrysler Corporation | 30 |
| 5 | BMW | 24 |
| 6 | Mazda Motor Corporation | 23 |
| 7 | Volkswagen Group | 21 |
| 8 | Toyota Motor Corporation | 20 |
| 9 | Nissan Motor Company | 18 |
| 10 | Porsche AG | 15 |
