Sometimes they release misleading information so as to not spook the actual persons they are monitoring...

Where did you get his pearl of wisdom from?

They are seeking assistance from the public for help, deliberately misleading the public with incorrect info would only waste time and resources checking out pointless assistance calls from the public.

Maybe the driver wasn't really aged between 70-80 years of age with a Harley Davidson logo on his shirt but he was 17 years old with a bananas in pyjamas logo on his shirt!

It is definitely an FG2. The grille opening, lower front bumper styling, angled rise of the side windows and the side skirt upper surface give it away.

On the Facebook page (I think) it mentions the car looks like an FG in the photo, but like a Commodore in the film footage (which doesn't seem to be available).

If a Commodore, then thinking perhaps a VY SS:

VY Commodore with a crappy body kit.
There were more plastic body kits for those cars than any other model.
As for the above photo, check the lower mirror for the black strip.

I can see why some can see it as an FG but I think VX-Y with body kit too.

Kinda pointless pic asking people to keep a look out when no-one can even be sure what model it is. All we have is it is definitely white. Even the rims look a different colour to what we are being told
