I was online and came across the list of Motor Trend Cars of the year dating back to 1949, so out of curiosity I tallied them up by manufacturer. Since 1949 GM has received 24 Car of the Year awards with Ford coming in second with 14. I was a bit taken aback by the fact that BMW has only received one Car of the award and that was for the 1997 5 series, which makes us tied with AMC / Renault!
