Toyota and Honda say the survey is more a reflection of how CCC measures car theft based only on stolen vehicles never recovered, or stripped to the point of being a total loss. Toyota spokesman John McCandless said the study is skewed for cars with durability. The headline is we ve been leading the list for years for the same reasons because our cars last, and the study s biased, he said. It s a list we re not particularly pleased to be on, said Honda spokesman Kurt Antonius. Honda has said the Accord would be in the middle of the pack if the rankings were weighted to show the proportion of stolen cars to total sales of that model.
Thieves tastes for stolen vehicles vary widely among different regions.
American vehicles were more popular in the Midwest, while Japanese brands dominated the East and West coasts. Contact the Webmaster .
