hummers may actually work out cheaper then the new LC200. Because Toyota no longer offers a standard entry level model the petrol GXL starts about 77K on the road. The army has had to change over its fleet of LC100 for prado's

I'd rather Prado than a Hummer, may not look as cool but those H3's only have a 5cyl engine AFAIK, they're weak as !

they should get the H2 off AVS, not the H3

Screw that, bring in the US Army Humvee, the 50 cal on that thing would warn off any would-be criminals.

If the cops want to look flashy, how bout they start wearing pink shirts with their collars up!!
They're actually on loan, they havent bought them at all. As for pink shirts, what works for you won't neccesarily work for everyone else.

At least over there in Aus land you get to see other makes as cop cars. Whoever chooses the cop cars here in NZ must get a backhander from Holden cos that's all we ever see.
