Top picks:

Subaru Forester
Subaru Impreza
Subaru Legacy
Subaru Outback
Subaru Tribeca

Subaru was the sole automaker this year that had a winner in every vehicle class in which it competes. Its popular small Forester SUV, for example, has won many accolades, including a 2011 award from ALG for having a higher predicted resale value than any other compact utility vehicle. Like most of this year's top picks, the 2011 Forester, which starts at $20,300, comes with standard electronic stability control.
