Detroit's automakers were shut out Wednesday as Consumer Reports awarded all top 10 new-car picks to Japanese brands in its annual auto issue. It marked the first time since the magazine began its "top picks" nine years ago that no American vehicle made the list. This year's rankings emphasized safety more than in the past.
Honda Motor Co., which offers more standard safety features than most automakers, was the big winner with five models among the 10 highest-rated new passenger vehicles. The 2006 Honda Civic won for top small sedan, the Accord for best family sedan, the Acura TL in the upscale sedan category, the Honda Odyssey for best minivan and the new Honda Ridgeline for the top pickup truck.
Toyota Motor Corp. and Subaru each had two models in the top 10
