With a score of 100 being average (the lower the better), the Integra rates a whopping 1487! How do our cars rate? The Ford Contour - 61 and Mercury Mystique - 46 For more on this check out the section on HOT WHEELS at http://cartalk.cars.com/

According to the scores listed on that site, if I were worried about the chance of my car being stolen I would buy a Buick LeSabre (Score: 4) :p

The reason I heard that the Acura Integra was the most-stolen car is that, err, "import tuners" like to put that engine into the Civic, and I guess that engine new is way too expensive.
