The 2002 BMW M Roadster was No. 2 on the list, and the 1998 Acura Integra was third. Other vehicles in the top 10 include the 1991 GMC V2500, the 2002 Audi S4 and the 2004 Mercury Marauder.

...

Acura spokesman Mike Spencer said Acura was aware of the theft problem and made several changes to the Integra during its lifetime, including adding more secure locks and immobilizer systems and installing door panels that were harder for thieves to break into.

...

Acura was the most-stolen brand, followed by Hummer, Land Rover, Daewoo and Honda.

 

I thought all that was common knowledge, as far as the theft rate goes. I just wish that insurance companies wouldn't charge me so much for my 00. I'm guessing it the immobilizer, but 00 and 01s never show up on the list of top stolen cars, yet all insurance companies I've checked charge the same rate for a 00 as they do for a 99. Lame.

 

damn damn damn

Actually, the 2000 and 2001 models are ranked in the top 20, I think the 2001 is #14 and the 2000 is ranked #16 or something. So they are still very high risk compared to other cars, so insurance companies will milk it for all it's worth. Someone posted the longer list in another thread discussing this topic. Here it is:

1. 1999 Acura Integra
2. 2002 BMW M Roadster
