[s-cars] News Flash: S-car chosen for robbery get-away car

[LHuillier Frederic]

Hi,

Unfortunately S-Cars are know in France for excellent
get-away cars. High number of A4/S4 or RS4 have been
car jacked for that purpose.

Thanks to Porsche and BMW for producing since
Powerfull SUV which seems to have higher popularity
for such use.

At the same time, I know from reliable sources that
colorfull S-Cars are not targetted. Something like a
Nogaro Blue S6 Plus or a Imola Yellow RS4 have pretty
much no chance to be carjakced.

Cheers,
Frederic
