I bet it'll be pretty popular. It's everything the police like.
Ford is also going to be unveiling a new FWD police interceptor this Friday, I guess it's going to be based on the Taurus.

I don't think it will catch on. Expensive and hard to find parts since its made in Australia. Of course GM could build it in Canada at the Camaro factory, since they're both on the same platform.
Cops may love it to death, but I think it will be a budget buster for repair costs. Also, I don't see GM bringing this over as a police only special. This could fill a big hole in GM's lineup for a big inexpensive car, market it as the Chevy Impala.

how can they get away with that? If a civilian can't go in and order the vehicle i would think they would have a basis for a lawsuit of some sort. like discrimination or something? i don't see how GM could offer a "Police only vehicle"

Are you joking? The Military has vehicles specifically made for them like oh... tanks, jet fighters, battle ships and I don't see those being offered to the civilian population. There should be no reason why this can't be a "Police only vehicle".

a tank is hardly a car. i suppose anyone who wants one will just get falsified documents claiming to be a police officer anyway so it's not that big of a deal. i just think if someone wants one they should be able to buy it legally instead of having to resort to that or shipping one from australia.

well yeah but you could still buy a Z28 with an LT1/LS1. it wasn't like you couldn't get a V8 camaro. they are almost saying you won't be able to buy a civilian equivelent of the new caprice unless you buy one from overseas.
