You can barely fit someone back there right now! Ford should have stayed with the CVPI because we use them and so do taxi cab companies.

Dodge is phasing out their Charger Police package.

The new Caprice coming out should dominate the market because the interior room is supposed to be more then the current CVPI and they are also going to make the shift lever on the column according to my Police Fleet magazines.

I for one am glad Chevy is getting back into the Police market with a practicle Police cruiser for patrol.
Where is the world did this info come from? The Taurus is a large car and if I am not mistaken, quite a bit larger inside than the Current Vic, so that is a moot point. Also, first I have heard of Dodge phasing out the Charger police package, especially considering their share is growing for now.
