The CV has more room under the body for mods such as better suspension and bigger powerplant. And your point is? I stated what patrolmen want and you state what certain characteristics are in certain vehicles. . with rear-wheel drive (more controllable in skids and etc). More bullshit. FW drive is much more controllable in skids. If they made a good fwd CV, the fuzz would be all over it. The PD's can only buy the type of vehicles that manufactures build as "Police Equiped". Maybe you could explain why you're seeing many PD's using Impala's, Malibu's, Taurus and Intrepids? Living in your own world, not the real world aren't you? Most of this was due to personal preference, not managements. Many cops complained when anti-lock brakes were added as they couldn't skid to a stop (many times sideways) and claimed this was a faster stop. More total bullshit. Sliding to a stop is something done in Starsky and Hutch. Not something they'd WANT to do in real life. Your bullshit. You obviously have no knowledge of PD's or your one of the problems. Many cops WANT to slide to a stop, and in the city I live in many cars were wrecked when they first had Anti-lock brakes for this reason. Chief issued an order banning sliding stops. Many PD's are switching to smaller front-wheel drive vehicles as manufactures make them available with "police pachages" to save on purchase cost and fuel. Also, Ford undercuts the purchase price to fleets, government and etc. to get their vehicles exposed, i.e. cheapest vehicle you can buy. (They even did it on retail Taurus and the next smaller one at one time so they could claim #1 title, which Toyota beat by offering quality Camry's and Corolla's, not cheapness.) Of course, GM is still the number one car maker, not Ford. So you're wrong again. You're still living in your own world. I was talking about two specific models and your talking about total vehicles sold. I was involved in the purchasing process in my city for over 19 years and can state under oath what happens in the bid process for fleets from Ford. Obviously, you've no clue what you're talking about. I think it's more than apparant who's clueless. Unless you have some factual information I'm done feeding the troll. davidj92 Check out the gary burnore mini movie: |
