I count five Hondas (four Hondas, one Acura) and five Fords.
Also, the Ford Mustang (in some iteration) won three of those for Ford. Honda had four distinct vehicles that won (Civic had two, CR-V, MDX, and Odyssey) vs only three for Ford.
Interesting to see the CR-V holding so well (again), being beaten only by the Tacoma for best in the industry!
