Heh. I kinda like it.

I'd much rather have a Caprice PPV though.

OMG that is a SEXY ASSED CAR! (and i dislike Ford Products) How can you hate that?

Way to go Ford!

Come on Chevrolet: Bring on the Caprice and the civilan version should TOP the Ford Stealth concept shown in the insideline article. What a target to aim for!

yeah...I would NOT want to see one behind me..."a-glow" hahaha.


And is it just me, or are all of these new police cars looking 'fragile'/ easily damaged? I mean, look at the front of that car and tell me that the first PITT maneuver is not going to break an expensive headlight housing and destroy the fender/hood of the car.

Police cars need to be able to take abuse and not cost an arm and a leg doing it.

Yeah I think you're right toesuf94, that car does look a little bit on the breakable side, not like those old crown vics haha those things were kinda tank-ish.

yeah those 22" wheels will do real well when they have to do a u-turn over a raised median to catch a speeder....

But besides that, it looks cool.

I usually stop liking cars that look like police cars once enough are on the road. I guess it's because when I see a police car my heart rate jumps and I immediately double check my speed. I really don't speed, but I really don't want a ticket. So I used to like the Charger, but now I don't because whenever I see one, I wonder if it's an undercover cop. So far I've only seen a red and black undercover cop around where I live, but still. All colors scare me now

I don't think it'll look as good with a Police grade push bumper and steelies on it, but it still is pretty good looking!

Stealth is the way to go and Ford does try but,

once it enters the edge of my hood blacked-out, tints too dark, everyone knows it the po-po.

Trust me, we can see a cop car miles away.

Ford would be stupid to not offer that car to the general public as it is shown (sans Lights) My uncle walked into my office a minute ago and I am now mopping up his drool from the floor. He wants the Taurus, and THAT CAR tripped his trigger to the point he wants to duplicate it. NOW.
