Having seen how car thieves have a special attraction for the Cadillac Escalade,what cars do they hate the most?Interestingly, it's a mix of cars and midsize SUVs, like the Chevrolet Equinox,the Highway Loss Data Institute reports. It may not be because it isn't cool to be cruising around in an Audi A6 or an Equinox. Rather, it may be because these vehicles have really good anti-theft mechanisms.
It's clearly not because these vehicles are undesirable. Looking over the list, they are all fairly popular, even if some are niche vehicles.
