Is there a list of the least stolen cars?

I believe it has something to do with the 2.0L engine. It could also be the 2.5 V6, which I believe was first introduced in 1989.

If I recall, the early Camrys were the ones that suffered from sludge accumulation.
Nothin' like stealing an old car for its engine, only to find that it's in worse shape than yours...  |

I've heard that a lot of older Toyota's have similar locks, so that when the keys get worn down, they work in other cars as well.

LOL - I like double sided keys. I can use them to start 2 different vehicles.
Incidentally, my Dodge Caravan key, and the Saturn's key, will fit the ignition cylinders of each other. I could cut either of the keys to work with both vehicles.

I can't believe Tempos aren't at the top of the lists.
Maybe thieves, unfamiliar with them, all ended up in fireballs in the ditch from losing control. Then word got out.

Hello -
I know Saturn S-Series were in the top ten one year, but I don't know why. Thieves must have slummin'.
