BTW, interesting way to jack a car. Bring a weapon with you to the dealership; in this case a knife. Take a test drive with no ID. Put the knife to the salesman's throat and tell him to get out of the car. Perhaps that's why the perp had a knife with him? Buthcher knife makes sense in this scenario too because the blade is already exposed and no need to waste time opening a knife, fumbling with thumb studs,etc.
I have a feeling he was not trying to steal the car. Or at least steal it without murdering someone. Looks like he would have gotten the guy out there and slashed him and then took the car, even if the salesguy gave it up without a struggle. Looks like a freakoid!!! This sucks big time.
Everyone make sure you hit that other thread to help the poor guy's pregnant wife.
