Hm, curious about it, I did a little digging. The old Blue and Whites were Crown Vic's, which Ford stopped making in 2011. So the most recent model possible CPS would have would be 5 years old (which is pretty good for a police vehicle, I'd imagine). I found a pic of a 2011 Crown Victoria done up in Black and White. Note the harder edges around the hood and trunk.
Figured I'd see if I could find a "less scary/intimidating" shot of the new Interceptor. Found one kinda like the picture of the old Crown Vic earlier
Doesn't seem scary or intimidating to me. Though I suppose one could say it's got a bit more of an aggressive looking 'stance' due to the bigger shocks on the back raising the back a little.
