ooooo that would be nice... and a police package impala from teh 60.70s or whatever... My dad used to own a debadged one and he said it went in a straight line great lol...
 
my dad had an old fury II with the police package. it had a blown motor when he got it but he put a magnum 440 in it. the 440 was in a project car someone had given up on. he said only one person ever beat that car and that was because you couldn't shift into 3td gear while moving.

I think it was Accords and camrys that are #1 stollen in the USA......The reason honda's are stolen is becasue for the most part honda and acura parts are pretty easily swapped among other hondas and acuras.

The actual reason for this is because The Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are the most stolen cars because they're the most popular cars in urban/metro areas. Typical American sedans tend to be easier to steal but have a wider sales range (ie they're sold everywhere - in most studies, the Ford Taurus and Dodge Stratus are nowhere near as popular in urban areas as Camrys and Accords). Since urban/metro areas are where most car thefts occur, this explains part of the Camry and Accord phenomenon. Additionally, the Taurus, Stratus, Malibu, and other domestic products have been around nowhere near as long - 1986, 1995, and 1997, respectively.

On the basis of percentage (which is the statistic that needs to be used in this situation), it tends to be high-end cars stolen more often: BMW 3-class, Audi TT, etc. On this basis, the Camry is relatively average, as would explain its entire existence.
 
The easiest car to enter and drive off currently on sale in the United Kingdom is the Chrysler PT Cruiser. It took the experts 2s to compromise the vehicle and a total of 5s to start the engine... Now THAT's bad.
