Is your friend suspiciously interested in your 2000 Honda Civic? Well watch out—that’s the most commonly stolen car in America last year. Are you still sure you can call this person a friend now?

The has a new list of the most commonly stolen cars in America in 2018, based on total model thefts reported. It’s bad news for owners of those cars, though the fact that they are also the most popular cars on the road probably has something to do with it.

Here is the full list, with the most stolen model year in parentheses.

Honda Civic (2000)Honda Accord (1997)Ford F-150 (2006)Chevrolet Silverado (2004)Toyota Camry (2017)Nissan Altima (2017)Toyota Corolla (2017)GMC Sierra (2018)Dodge Ram (2001)Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee (2000)

Those turn-of-the-century Hondas really prove their value and reliability, even to thieves.

Now let’s look at the most commonly stolen new cars from the 2018 model year alone:

The GMC SierraThe Ford F-150The Toyota CamryNissan AltimaChevrolet SilveradoHyundai ElantraFord TransitDodge ChargerToyota CorollaChevrolet Malibu

It should be said that the only vehicle worth stealing on either of these lists is the Ford Transit. What a good little van. (Only kidding, do not steal cars.)

Now, here’s my personal list of cars that would’ve made the first two lists a bit more interesting:

E28 BMW 5 SeriesPolice carsSubaru BajaNew York City street sweeperJDM Subaru Forester STIYellow Lotus EliseHonda CR-ZThe Kia buried in David Tracy’s backyard1996-2006 Mitsubishi GalantVolvo S60 Cross Country

I know what you’re thinking. “Can you even find a 1996-2006 Mitsubishi Galant anymore?” What was once an attractive, attainable sedan now seems washed from this cold, alien reality we now populate. The Honda Civic really should be left alone, though. Those owners are just trying to live their life.

BMW Is Somehow Doing Two More 500 Horsepower SUVs
The 2020 and were just a warning shot, the first wave of an onslaught of 500 horsepower super SUVs we may not be prepared for. And there’s two more now, with the 2020 M50i and M50i. More power, more SUVs, more large Bimmer people-movers on the way. We’ve reached...

The Best Japanese Car Show of the Early Internet Is On Amazon Prime
It’s informative. It’s entertaining. It’s an introduction to how cars work, how they should be driven, and how weird they can be. It’s not Top Gear or The Grand Tour; it’s Best Motoring’s Hot-Version and it’s on Amazon Prime. That’s more of the show than we’ve seen before, too, as...

This Homemade New York State Inspection Sticker Really Nails It
This Homemade New York State Inspection Sticker Really Nails It
Like many states, New York inspects cars to make sure they’re (roughly) safe enough to be on the road, and to prove that’s the case, they require an inspection sticker to be displayed on the windshield. Now, not everyone has the time, money, or a car that meets all...

Toyota Will Soon Offer New Parts for the MKIII and MKIV Supra
If you have a third- or fourth-generation , you shouldn’t feel left out by all this “new Supra” talk. You certainly aren’t forgotten, least of all by Toyota. Jealous that the new Supra will have years and years of OEM parts to choose from? Not a worry, your time...

U.S. Buyers Still Overwhelmingly Choose a Manual for the Subaru BRZ and WRX
It shouldn’t be much of a surprise that still has decent manual sales in a market where carmakers can’t give a third pedal away, given that its buyers are often either outdoorsy dog people or street hoons. But manual take rates in the and , at least in the...
