The Top 10:

1. Nissan Silvia
2. Subaru Impreza
3. Nissan Skyline
4. Subaru Legacy
5. Mitsubishi Legnum
6. Honda Integra
7. Subaru Forester
8. Mazda Lantis
9. Honda Prelude
10. Mazda Familia



Makes sense I guess - less sophisticated central locking/alarms/immobilisers :ph43r:

luckily neither my silvia or my skyline were stolen, alarms are a must these days.
Heres hoping the altezza will never make it to that list :unsure:

Mazda Lantis?
Why are they a target?

girlfriend had a lantis.

piece of crap all sorts was f$%ing out on it. you would probably break down if you stole it. would of done us a favour if it got nicked though lol.

Keeps breaking down so there's a demand on parts for it :D

See United State's top 10 stolen cars, basically nothing appealing in it:

So annoying, my insurance is higher cause "it's one of the most stolen cars". Never seen tezzas on these lists. I deal with heaps of stolen cars thru work and never an altezza.. ah well.

Maybe Lantis' are easy to break into, cheaper ride home than a taxi? People will steal anything, even if it is tied down.

EDIT: Spoke to the chairperson for NZ car security today.. Apparently Altezzas are pretty up there, just not on the AA list. I am waiting to get the list from NZ wide stats to see, will let you know :)
