Well its a combination of things. First, insurance companies set their
rates based on the accident rates of the vehicles. Since Hondas are
frequently the best sellers in their class, it stands to reason that more of
them will be involved in collisions. The insurance companies use this as an
excuse to charge more by arguing that they are a higher risk vehicle due to
the number of accidents. (Gotta love how stats can be twisted to say just
about anything.) Another reason is that Hondas (mostly Civics and older
Accords) are always on top of the list for stolen cars.
