The latest safety tests have Ford, Subaru and Volkswagen leading the pack of 2010 model cars.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says 19 passenger cars and 8 SUV's are the top safety picks. The list includes the Buick LaCrosse, the Audi A3 and the Jeep Patriot.

The number of awards this year has been pared from last year's total because of tougher roof safety requirements. That additional test kept a lot of cars off the list, including all Toyota, Mazda and Mitsubishi models.

Ford and its Volvo unit received the most awards with six, followed by five awards apiece for Subaru and Volkswagen and its Audi unit.

Chrysler received four awards followed by two each for Honda and General Motors.
