Thats so ugly. I think I'll switch career paths and become a firemen.

If my agency buys it I will drive it. NO CHOICE. When you get a take home car you can drive anywhere in the county I can't complain.

I think this is an idea whose time has come. Built for police work and police work only, everything we need bulit in and not added on. I cant wait to see one in my driveway!

Not a bad idea, but a little late. Pontiac (GM) had this same idea back in 1977. They even built a prototype and it was shown all around. The only problem was is that it cost nearly as much as full size 4 door and there was no market for it when the dept went to get rid of it.

Good luck.

It's about time, although if they want to succeed they should cast their nets to see how real cops like it and be willing to make changes.

Where do you get it repaired? Who fixes the lighting/siren when it goes bad? Are the lights and siren even legal for all the states?

can it even take the beating that a crown vic can? the front bumper looks way too low to jump curbs, islands etc.. the crown vic has more ground clearance.

concept crusier aims to replace traditional brands
This car is not practical for police work. It too low. It might look pretty on the highway, but not for the city.

With all the towns having budget problems, do they need a gas guzzler. I personally don't think so.

This car will never fly.

I think this is a GREAT car. I did the homework. This is not a gas guzzler at all. 25 mpg COMBINED. Fast, comfortable, and made for police work. Go check out Carbon Motors website. I do rural police work also, and we use both Tahoes and Crown Vics. Give me the Crown Vic any day, even on rough rural roads. Better handling and smoother ride. I look forward to seeing it in real life.
