I'd probably go with a RWD V8 powered Chrysler vehicle (as much as I hate them) over a AWD turbo powered Ford vehicle for police duty. Chrysler makes some horrible cars but they are also less complex in design and have a simpler drive train.
Yeah, lets have the cops waste more gas, while going slower, while sliding around in inclement weather. Real great choice while pursuing criminals.
Your pure, unadulterated hatred for all things Ford is astounding.
Frankly, I think Ford should have a new RWD platform for their full-size cars. This platform can also be the basis for their police offering. Isn't the new Caprice RWD? I don't know how the FWD Taurus will fare against the Caprice for police duty.
I think all three cars chasing the contracts are impressive
The Ford Taurus/Chevrolet Caprice/Dodge Charger are light
years ahead of the old Crown Vics. Cops have never had it
so good. Personally I would chose the RWD V8 Caprice/Chargers
for the warmer states (Longevity). Then chose the Taurus
for anywhere that gets a lot of snow (AWD)
Why? 95% of the people in America care deeply how their car looks. Why would a cop feel any differently than his patrol car?
The answer to your question is in the portion of my post that you left out of the quote.
