While I agree with your statement, if memory serves the article was about "sporty" cars being stolen. I agree with you that the author has a broad definition of "sporty"

Are there even more than 10 relatively affordable sports cars on the market?

No one steals Ferraris because hardly anyone owns one to steal... on the other hand, there's tons of Mustangs and Camaros on the road, so go figure.

Ummm... Perhaps no Hondas are on the list due to it being a list of "Sporty" cars. It's just a guess on my part. I give you points for your keen grasp of the English language though. Nice work. Keep it up, you make us all proud.

Honda doesnt have a sports car... They'd be in the "car the bores people to death" rankings. They'd be #2 after Toyota.

48 Z cars in a year and you guys are freaking out? Cheak the data on how many other cars are stolen. 48 is very few compared to other makes and models of cars and trucks.

Article said it was over the first 3 years. So really it is only 16 - 370's/year stolen on average

Of the 47 how many were forum members. I do not recall any off the top of my head. Wheels all the time, but not entire cars.
