it looks like a really expensive car when you look at it. i can see why its targeted, i got a car alarm a month or so after i got it... for protection, the insurance savings, and the sexy beep :-D

One thing that I noticed was that only two American cars were on the top 10 stolen cars and 8 American cars were on the least stolen.

It all depends on how the list is sorted.

The Tiburon was the most stolen car in Canada for several years running. At the same time in the US, the most stolen car was something like the Camry, I believe.

Here's one article that states the Escalade was the most stolen vehicle. This study came out this past Oct. http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/19/pf/a...olen_vehicles/
