Yank coupes like the Mustang will probably do the job although I would still have a question mark functional access to the back seats. Yes these days if you chase someone and have to apprehend them then a GD vehicle will attend but it’s not good enough to simply say that HWP or pursuit cars don’t need to carry back seat passengers or crims – because you just don’t know what scenario is waiting for you around the corner.
Personally I think the time is nigh for an enterprising car maker to make a purpose designed Police sedan based on a production car that is sold globally. Like the philosophy Ford has with the Toreass Police Interceptor in the states, just not in the 2 tonne Tessie guise of the Taurus and available in RHD, globally. Would make ownership costs and repair costs for Police forces much easier to bear.

And like Pottery has suggested, not everyone hammering along on the highway or freeway is Mr Nice Guy...

Haha I wish, talking about the long red/blue emergency ones with the whites in the middle.
Wasn't aware how much the rotators were distracting, only ever fitted and tested them, never had the chance to drive with them on especially at night. |

A 4 door performance RWD sedan suited for the police force that's rugged and can take a few knocks now and then.... Suitable for a global market... Oh Wait.....

Could probably use the 2L version of the Ecoboost Mondeo, except not the weak watered down version we got, the European 177KW variant and beef it up a bit.
