From their perspective definitely, if it's not a contract issue with the domestic manufacturers I'm not sure why they haven't already done it. But as a driver it makes things much easier when I can eliminate over half the cars on the road as potential cops

i like the new look. i will be easier to determine if it is a police officers car or just a company truck

it would be better for the police servic e if they used impoerts for ghost cars, but it would be absolutely terrible for drivers. it might be an issue with contract as to why they arent using them

I had to look that up...

Actually they are all AWD.

Anyone remember the end of Hot Fuzz?

Well this is good news for sure then.

Just saw 3 sedans and 1 SUV at the Esso on Barlow and 4th Ave NE filling up. No decals yet and it looked like the officers driving them weren't in CPS dress. Anyone know if there is a CPS facility around there? Maybe they are doing some testing?

Didn't have my phone with me so no pics.

CPS HQ is at McKnight and 47th St NE.

What? I thought they were going with the 2WD and undergrad corrected me.

come to think of it. Have you ever seen an Impreza ram an opposing car during a chase like the dodges or fords? There\s no way a Foreign car would survive something like that.

Maybe if they were bulkier like these current newer models and you add a ram to it, it may work. Other than that, I don't see it ever happening at all here.
