this hasn't changed much... the Acura Integra has been on that list for god knows how long.... but what surprised me is that the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry are not on the list, it usually tops the list every year

Acura has supposedly fixed a lot of the issues with the RSX/newer Integras, like adding an immobilizer and making it harder to break into.

I have the sedan version as it was the family car, so I guess that's why no one wants to steal it.
