top 10 most stolen In the USA

BEAT

I am interested to see what are the most stolen tpes of cars in Ireland anyone know?

The CCC reports the ten most-stolen vehicles for 2003 in the United States are as follows:


1995 Saturn SL
1998 Acura Integra
1994 Saturn SL
1999 Acura Integra
1995 Acura Integra
1997 Acura Integra
1996 Acura Integra
1994 Acura Integra
2002 Mitsubishi Montero
2000 Honda Civic
The study is based on total loss claims received from more than 350 property and casualty insurers in North America and compares the number of vehicles stolen and not recovered against vehicle registration volume information provided by R.L. Polk & Co., to determine the rate of theft.


Here is the NICB top ten list—the number in parentheses is the model year most stolen:


Toyota Camry (1989)
Honda Accord (1994)
Honda Civic (2000)
Chevrolet Full-Size Pickup (1992)
Ford F-Series Pickup (1997)
Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee (1993)
Oldsmobile Cutlass (1986)
Dodge Caravan (1994)
Ford Taurus (1996)
Toyota Corolla (2001)
This study is based on some 1.2 million motor vehicles reported stolen to the NICB in 2002 by law enforcement agencies nationwide.

Taste Varies
Thieves' choices differ from region to region, according to the CCC and NICB. The 1994 C1500 4X2 pickup was the most-stolen vehicle stolen in Texas, while 13 of the 25 most-stolen vehicles in California were imports. The NICB also reported that the most stolen color was white, followed by red, blue, black and green.

Almost - the Acura models are higher quality - will have leather interior, and better extras as standard. Same engine, body etc...

Bit like a Lexus is really a Toyota...:D

Beg to differ with you there.

The Japanese version of the Integra - came with increased BHP, and extras that weren't available to the American market

i.e.
Electric fold in mirrors
Recaro designed front seats
LSD as an option
Auto-Temp control Aircon
Foglights
Better exhaust system
foldout LCD TV as an option since 93 !
Leather steering wheel/knob
Cat overheat temperature light


Only thing the Americans got, that the Japanese market couldn't was
Leather Seats in the most awful shades

Also explains why the yanks offer me silly money for parts on my car.

If anyone on the forum owns a teg, and whats info on securing it good and proper. Send me a PM

kdevitt

yeah - meant higher spec as opposed to US models

that's news to me

Acura it's division of the HONDA US which means it belongs to

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. which manufacturers two brands of the car:

Acura, Honda (including motorcycles and power products)

one manufacturer with two brands
