That's something i was thinking, does the article actually specify that NEW civics and accords were the most stolen cars? Or are they just generalizing to every single car on the road regardless of year... i'm sure honda's now are alot harder to break into, hardwire and steal than their 90s predecessors were...
And like someone else mentioned... you have to take into account the amount of these cars on the road (especially older ones because they're so reliable! ;D) and then take into account the types of areas people own and drive older hondas and it makes sense they'd probably get stolen alot.
