That's either one less from the production tally already, or one that will likely not hold much value in the short-term.

Same, saw a GTS-R on the weekend, besides the fake exhaust tips it looked pretty menacing.

I really feel sorry for the future owner/s. Just imagine the anticipation of collecting the beaut W1 and then find out some lowlife has just ruined your dream car purchase . I hope they get a chance for another one somehow.

$300,000, wtf?
The guy in the SV6. That's like breaking into KFC and then walking out with just a handful of napkins and a straw. |

Shame about the W1. being a limited run and all that.
Heaps of other brands they could have taken. |

Hmmm wonder if these 2 cars went missing from the large holden/hsv dealership that has been forced to cease trading as a GM dealer as of the 31st Dec....

Probably not, given that they aren't in the CBD. It's more likely to be the other dealer, who are in the CBD. I hope so....

From the article........"The stolen SV6 was last seen travelling south on Port Wakefield Rd, Bolivar later that night." From memory Bolivar is about 20k from the city, and they were heading back towards town ![]()

My guess is its an inside job. They probably accessed the key safe for the keys and didn't need to break into the actual cars at all.

Not suggesting that this is an inside job but think about what's been said and written instead of knee jerk stuff..
Whether intentionally or unintentional, these guys had help so it's now up to plod to work out what really happened.. Crooks are like crocodiles, do the same things enough times and they'll be waiting to pounce.. |

I wonder what the thieves intend to do with the GTSR W1 - considering the car has Datadot anti-theft technology I don't see how they could part it out or sell it without getting caught.

there is a GTSR W1 ute next door, lime green awesome looking , and HUGE brakes all round, they are going to enjoy the ride from what ive seen, my FGX has no chance.
I am not sure if I was the owner I would want it back... I guess the dealer is totally responsible for the car until delivered.. and I presume it would be insured in some way |
