    I was thinking it was an IMPALA. They planned to use them and fade out the crown vics, most departments down here are already doing so.

    To light, to small, not comparable to a crown vic in structure & Strength, I've built a a bunch of Impala's and the design is complete crap, trunk space is ridiculous, extremely fragile.

    Not to mention how much of a pain installs on the cars are.

    We've been through three generations of Impala's here as cop cars. They get nice and beat up, even the newer generations are starting to look like they're taking a hit or two. Provinicial cops are still using the Crown vics though.

    It seems we like locally built cars since the Impala's are still made near here.

    I love the crown vic history that goes, "limited to 120 MPH because of the drive shaft..."

    Don't forget the extra 5'' in the back seat!

    The PD always loves to spend our money but never really needs them.

    You have no clue how much money the departments around here waist. It would make you sick.

    Around here they run them till they're nice and beat up. The captain actually takes most of the money and has been exposed as basically the judas of the region.
