JUST weeks after its release onto the Australian market, an Indian-built ute has been crowned the nation's least secure vehicle by a leading motoring group.
The Mahindra “Pik-Up” ute only managed to score two from a possible 120 points in the latest RACV Vehicle Security Rankings report. Full story here Yeah, but who the hell would want to steal one??  : : |

Here's the same article in SA, just out to bag the Falcon,
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/s...4-2682,00.html you'll notice they don't specify the VE model in question, but do specify that it was a XT Falcon. |

I think its anti theft feature is its looks, no need to make it secure

I'm curious. 2 points out of 120? That's very low.
What features are worth what points? Is there a site that explains the break down of the 120 points? If a magna gets 74 points and a Falcon has 57 what features does the Falcon lack over the Magna? But 2 points!! it probably scored that by being parked with the doors wide open and the engine running with a sign reading "Free car".... |
