Honda may now be caught in war of words with Consumer Reports over the results of its test drive of the 2012 Civic sedan, but the Japanese firm's models continue to be preferred by a…certain type of drivers. According to the latest findings of The National Insurance Crime Bureau [NCIB], the 1994 MYAccord was the most frequently stolen car in the US in 2010 for the third year in a row. The not-for-profit organization stated that the reasons can be found in the car’s weak security systems and the demand for used parts. Data from the FBI reveal that almost 52,000 Accords were stolen in 2010 alone. Honda also holds the number two-spot in car thieves’ preferences with the 1995 Civic, while Toyota comes in third with its 1991 Camry. Ford took three spots, Dodge two and Chevrolet held one. The NCIB noted that Honda, Toyota and Acura have held the top three positions since 2000. All over the US, car thefts in 2010 dropped to the lowest level since 1967, the primary reason being that security systems in new cars are much more effective than they used to be. Source: Carscoop
