Our local police departments now have a mix of chargers, explorers, tauruses and a few holdover crown vics. I used to be a world loving champ at identifying cvpi headlights/tail lights in the middle of old folk hell florida's deluge of panther platform old folk mobiles. Now those skills are useless.

Why do the Police think they need RWD anyway? They should give them Cruzes or something sensible

As much as I'm sure they'd love to Australian Police aren't allowed to use their cars as battering rams - that's a uniquely American thing.

There are a lot of explorers here in Michigan and I swear they are all black, silver, or white and they all have the blacked out grill making them ALL look like popo. I don't even speed most of the time but it makes me do a quick check of the speedo every goddamn time.

Just keep a loaded gun in the car and shoot a warning shot at them. If they shoot back it's the police. edit: who am I kidding it's just as likely to be a civilian shooting back.

Yea the modern FWD interceptors are probably durable enough. Up here in Canada they seem to like the police Tahoe, it's apparently the most durable police vehicle, which makes sense. RCMP doesn't seem to use Chargers, but they are popular with municipal police.

Chicago Police Dept is about 100% Explorers these days with some holdovers from the golden era. We have a good amount of old-school paddy wagons too. Explorers here are both marked and unmarked. The tipoff in my state as in many states is the license plate.

If GM still had their old hybrid truck platform, I'd say they should take some of those and do some suspension stuff to drop the ride height on them. sell as police cars. Cheap, durable, big battery, and hopefully they can make it so it won't flip over all the time. Either that or ask Ford to bring back the lightning

Kinda funny, for the longest time after the hellcat came out, they were all sitting around here with $20k market adjustments on top of the $80k sticker in canada. Now what i would bet are those very same cars are sitting around everywhere with $10k on the hood. All the dealers are advertising $69,999, which is about $53k USD.

So rumors are flying that mitsubishi is reviving the eclipse name plate. On a crossover SUV debuting at the next big auto show. The rage and hate coming from every eclipse owner I know is palpable. I love it and want one. <3 http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/mitsubishi/98378/new-mitsubishi-eclipse-suv-exclusive-details-and-first-review-of-2018-qashqai-rival
