And it's rear wheel drive. Ford's new police car will be front wheel drive. The new Chevy police car is bigger and faster than the Ford and Dodge police cars. And it’s rear wheel drive.

The handling and breaking in road tests have always favoured the holden product and if the police wanted more power there is always the LS3 engine available from HSV (425 HP). Even with the standard V8 the 6 speed auto closes the gap so there is very little difference in straight line performance. The interior space is also superior to the Dodge. I have a 10 year old Holden with 220,000+ km on the clock and have had very few problems and I know the new car is better built than mine. Please do some research before lampooning anything no matter what. How can you write such an article without even having driven the car?

Did you actually read anything about this car? Its a Holden caprice built in Australia, on the same platform as the g8 and its rear wheel drive. Holden doesn't make crap v8 powered front wheel drive cars. Most of the cop cars in Australia are based on the g8 or ss commodore. Which are either v6 or v8 powered.

The car is a failure because it doesn't look cool enough? Yeah, that's what I want my local police department to base their buying decisions on! The again, I guess they needed to find something to bash GM for, and since the car seems well built, looks was a s good a reason as any. A word for Mr. Collins, the officer who posted a reply to the article. This Impala IS rear wheel drive, and it is NOT based on the old Impala so your complaints about the old Impala's lack of room hold no water. I would expect a police officer to notice details like that. Eh, who wrote this, and what were they on? The car is a failure because it doesn’t look cool enough?

I have had a chevy Impala for one year as a patrol vehicle. I'm looking at this new chevy patrol vehicle and I hate to say this but I'm not impressed at all and I have my why I would not even think about purchasing this vehicle for my agency. SORRY CHEVY THIS VEHICLE ISN'T HITTING ON MUCH. AS FAR AS ROOM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. FOR EXAMPLE I ARRESTED TO SUSPECTS AND IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD PLACING THEM INSIDE AND GETTING THEM OUT OF MY PATROL VEHCILE (CHEVY IMPALA). Chevy you need to got back to the drawing board getting a LEO to assist you. The front wheel drive and the V6 engine needs to be placed out of reach of your designers.
