The failure of GM to move the shifter on to the column is a problem. With all of the equipment mounted in the center console area of police vehicles it is a nuisance.
The Ford Interceptor will be released around November. This car is based on the current Taurus and should also be a good car. It is V6 powered but the sandard engine pits out 30 more h.p. than the C.V. 4.6. It is also available with a twin turbo Eco-Boost and AWD.

The Taurus based all wheel or front drive has no place in the pursuit police community. At least not in ours. Too small. Our guys will kill them in a week or less. I was amazed the CV held up as good as it did. You need to do a ride along on busy shift....... Talk about abuse! The Cap has more leg room and head than the Ford CV2010-11 and will run the pants off them too. Speed set at 137 with a bunch of power (355) and Stabilitrac too. The console did not bother our biggest and tallest cop (6' 11 "). He has his knees even with the middle of the wheel in a CV. The rear area has more room too. This thing looks like it would eek out a low 14 sec time. Pretty impressive for a heavy turd. I hope they fare as well as the CV did for the abuse. Ok, you can move the post now.....
