Wow, thats not good if its the 3rd gen model with the keyless system. However, Lexus stated that is irrelevant in a way because the GS sales are not very high, the results are from model years 2004-2005 with some 2006. But it does not specifically say how many 2006 models out of the 247 stolen.

As an absolute number, 247 is a pretty small sample too to be drawing too many statistical inferences from. There are "lies, damn lies, and statistics" as they say.

No offense....but you don't have the slightest clue about what you're talking about. A statistically sound sample size is 30 but this is irrelevant because we are not trying to predict the population as a whole from a small sample, rather we are dealing with actual numbers from all insurance theft losses for this vehicle. Also, if I understand the OP's quoting of Lexus saying this is insignificant saying that the GS is a slow selling car...this makes absolutely no sense because to have these numbers on an admittedly slow selling car means a high proportion of the cars are being stolen....if we were talking about 247 CAMRYS stolen it would be like the LEAST stolen car in the US. Since GS numbers are so low, this works against Lexus' argument, not for.
