Coupe Under $15,000: Honda Civic
The Honda Civic swept the inexpensive coupe category once again. With 54 percent of the votes, the two-door has size, performance and reliability that consumers are looking for. Though no threat to the Civic, the new Chevy Cobalt still garnered 20 percent of the votes, a stronger showing than the previous No. 2, the Ford Focus (down to 15 percent). From there the response was minimal with the Toyota Echo (4 percent), Saturn Ion (3 percent), Hyundai Accent (2 percent) and Suzuki Reno (1 percent) filling the next four slots.

Rep Power: 293 Sedan Under $25,000: Honda Accord
Practicality fought a hard battle against retro style in this competitive sedan bracket. Last year the Honda Accord claimed 23 percent of the votes. This year it had to settle for just 16 percent, while the Chrysler 300, the winner in 2005 Editors' Most Wanted voting, was right behind it with 14 percent. The sporty Mazda 6 fell to third place after earning 9 percent of the votes. The chic new Volvo S40 took fourth place with 8 percent, while the Subaru Legacy and Toyota Prius got 7 percent apiece. The Toyota Camry and Volkswagen Passat were next in line with 6 percent, followed by the Nissan Altima (5 percent), Subaru Impreza (4 percent), Ford Five Hundred (4 percent), VW Jetta (3 percent) and Pontiac G6 (2 percent).
Sedan Under $35,000: Acura TL
For the second year in a row, consumers say the Acura TL is the best sedan in the entry-luxury price bracket, giving it 22 percent of the votes. There was also strong support for the BMW 3 Series, as it earned 17 percent, even in the last year of its model cycle. Infiniti's G35 came in third with 13 percent of the vote. The Audi A4 and Cadillac CTS were fourth, as each tallied up 7 percent. The full-size Toyota Avalon and the compact Acura TSX shared fifth place with 6 percent. Behind them were the Nissan Maxima, Lexus ES 330 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, all with 3 percent.

Convertible Under $35,000: Honda S2000
Proving that performance is as important as style in this category, Honda's hard-core S2000 roadster brought home first place once again with a solid 32 percent of the votes. Nissan's 350Z roadster gave the Honda a run for its money last year, but could only muster up 26 percent of the votes this time around. BMW's Z4 (20 percent) and Audi's TT (12 percent) pulled down fourth and fifth places while Chrysler's Crossfire roadster brought up the rear with 11 percent.
SUV Under $25,000: Honda CR-V
With 17 compact SUVs competing for the top spot in this category, Honda's fourth consecutive win is quite impressive. The CR-V captured 16 percent of the votes, down from 18 percent last year. The Subaru Forester nabbed second place for the second time with 11 percent. Coming in a close third is the Chevrolet Equinox with 10 percent, followed by the Toyota RAV4 (9 percent), Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute (9 percent), Jeep Liberty (8 percent), Honda Element (8 percent), Jeep Wrangler (7 percent), Ford Freestyle (5 percent) and the Land Rover Freelander (4 percent). Rounding out the pack were the Kia Sorento (3 percent), Hyundai Santa Fe (3 percent), Hyundai Tucson (3 percent), Mercury Mariner (2 percent), Mitsubishi Endeavor (2 percent), Mitsubishi Outlander (1 percent) and the Suzuki Vitara/Grand Vitara twins (0 percent apiece).
SUV Under $35,000: Honda Pilot
In a tight vote in this closely contested category, the roomy and versatile Honda Pilot edged the more upscale Lexus RX 330 by only 45 votes, both receiving 12 percent of the votes. Close behind, in third place was Infiniti's edgy FX35 with 11 percent. The fourth-place pick by consumers was the winner of our Editors' Most Wanted awards, the venerable Toyota 4Runner, with 10 percent. Also in the running was the BMW X3, the Volvo XC90 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Minivan: Honda Odyssey
The Honda Odyssey conquered this category thanks to a sympathetic restyling that allowed the car to become the hands-down winner by a clear majority of votes. None of the other vehicles, not even last year's winner, the Toyota Sienna, registered more than half of the enthusiasm that consumers seemed to have for the new 2005 Honda Odyssey. The addition of optional eight-passenger seating with a stowable middle seat, second-row chairs that convert into benches, and generally improved space and noise dynamics undoubtedly helped the Honda Odyssey to reclaim its rightful crown in the minivan hierarchy.
