Why am I not surprised...

A monkey could steal a 2000 or older Honda Civic.

Perhaps they are scared off due to the exhuast manifold issues present in those models..

Does nothing. It would just take another 10 seconds to bypass it if that.

So? It's another 10 seconds, it's a deterrent, not a guarantee.

oh well, whatever alarm you put in or kill switch is better then nothing and just takes them longer to bypass it and maby thats just enough time to catch them or they'll probably just leave it and go

Not neccessarily, these figures are represented by total cars stolen for 2005 I believe. ITR, 1.6EL, ect. just don't have the number of cars sold to make the list. Now if they were to take the list and put it up as a percentage of number of each car on the road you may see different results.

Unbelieveable! I'm scared everyday with my car being parked outside the Gostation...even though I have a decent alarm on it. If these losers want to steal your car, they will!

Exactly what I was thinking...If it were a ratio of units stolen to units sold, then you would see different recults. However, the SiR is probably less popular than the 1.6 EL and it was only mad for two years, yet it takes the top 2 spots.

Shame.
