Ford Announces Development of Police Interceptor Law Enforcement Vehicle 2010

I suspect they are in fact making money with cop-cars. They weren't exactly refreshing the design as often as normal cars. But I agree that Police should just buy normal cars, and economical ones at that. I'm dubious of the "Interceptor" cop car concept, when it's been known for a long time that high-speed chases are not worth it in terms of the dangerous outcomes they produce. If they were in position to chase a suspect in the first place, they have the licence# from sight/video and can radio for support to close roads/etc. I *DO* see non-"cop cars" becoming more prevalent, including stuff like Priuses. I guess some PDs are more confident in their man-hood. That's the problem. When you compromise you get a vehicle that's too heavy and slow or too small to carry the crook. Ford has announced plans to replace the aging Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with an all-new model in 2011.
Meant to fix everything that is wrong with the current Crown Vic (slow, cramped, and thirsty), Ford promises the new model will be faster, more fuel-efficient, and safer.
According to Lt. Brian Moran, a fleet manager for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and a member of Ford's Police Advisory Board (which spent 14 months offering suggestion to improve the new model), "Ford's commitment to the law enforcement community produced the Crown Victoria, the benchmark police vehicle. This commitment has continued, and Ford has been working closely with the Police Advisory Board on developing the new Police Interceptor. I am confident that the next-generation Ford police vehicle will meet the future needs of the law enforcement community and will set the new standardThe Crown Vic can be purchased by anyone and when they bring out this new car it will most likely end up for sale to the public anyway, along with the Chevy.It is rather cheaper to build a police car from Falcon F6, it is fast and very high duty as its based model is doing its job as a cabby. Even it is quite economical too. Just need to remove those racoon mask.
