As for the taurus, I don't see it being used as a cop car. The mustang should just be offered to cops with a special police package. It's what a lot of police department's buy anyway.

But honestly, I don't see police forces or government agencies buying either of these. Most of the new sales will go towards the carbon e7, the car that was specifically created for police officers.
The G8 isn't as big as the Caprice, and size matters with police cars. Also, offering the Caprice as a police car opens the door to offer it to the public as well. That couldn't be done with the G8 since Pontiac was going to die.

The I don't know if you've noticed, but the Mustang lacks 2 very important features of a patrol car: a passenger side rear door and drivers side rear door.
