Thoughts? It's a rendering on another site that I saw today. Looks pretty nasty to me (in a good way).
Reminds me of the days of the Mustangs:
They meant business in those days!!

I think the ink is drying on the agreement to buy some Holden Commodores for use as patrol cars. I'd bet that Camaros are much less practical (though way cooler) as a
car:

The picture just caught the beginning of a scrolling banner that says:
Pot Smokers Beware!!
Why buy new pursuit cars when they aren't even allowed to pursue anyway?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Well, it has to accommodate a fair amount of essential
cargo.
IIRC, one of the reasons that the Mustang was chosen over the Camaro back in the '80's was that the CHP could mount a standard 12ga shotgun in a vertical holding bracket between the front seats in the 'Stang. The Camaros had a much lower roofline, so they would've had to saw off too much of the shotgun to make them fit in a vertical mount.

If robbers can deal with the sawed off shotgun, why not the cops?
