Not a flame but...
Why are BritCops driving Range Rovers and BMW X5's? I bet GM or Ford would be quite happy to send a few right hand drive police versions of one of our basically bulletproof, although somewhat less refined
4wd suv's over for much less then those luxo barges cost, and indeed one area in which the US makers continue to shine is the ability to fit powerful V/8's for low cost.I bet Dodge and Ford would also be quite joyful (if enough were ordered) to send over hemi chargers and Police Interceptor Crown Vic's for less then a volvo cop car costs...well, perhaps not on the Ford since I just realized my error, but mopar is going to be pusing the hemi charger very big for police use!
