Interesting, thanks for the links. IMO the Police Charger looks best with one base color with a cheatline. The classic black and white looks a bit odd to me, while the NYPD Charger and the Charger in the first link that you provided both look surprisingly sexy (if that is a word that can be used to describe a police vehicle!).

We've got three so far here in northern Michigan. Two of the white and one of the dark. Not sure but I thinks its like a metallic black with the gold stiping on it, that one looks sweet. All three are for the county sheriff and all three have the hemi.

My town's police force is what I have heard to be the highest paid in the state. They're getting new cars, all new computers, and basically everything a big city needs even though we're small. Our newest car is a Chevy Tahoe that is pretty cool, but all the current cars are getting rid of the big lights on top for 2" high LED's which are a pain in the ass to see from the distance. It would not surprise me at all to see our force to get new cars like the ones in this thread to keep up with looking nice for our community. Hell our post office even has nice cars for alot of the neighborhoods here in my town.

The state police in the Louisville area cruise around in unmarked Camaros so if you're there watch out!

Given your typical NYC traffic, just where exactly could this car ever achieve it's top speed ? Not that the cars don't look good, but I don't see much use in the extra speed.

LOL that is what I thought, too! What they need is a lifted 4x4 so they can just get over traffic to get to the scene faster...or personal helicopters....

Re:

Recently, the Oklahoma City PD announced that they would be getting these same cars as well pretty soon. Out here though, there are a few car chases from time to time, so they do need those and then again, wide open spaces mean they could easily gun that machine down rural highways (albeit all chases are dangerous anyway).

Just saw this sitting outside my dorm window so I grabbed the camera and headed out. Must be brand new as of today, never seen it before.

EDIT : Just noticed under the titles, that the car was donated...not bad.

Damn, why don't our German police forces ever get a donation like that ...

In terms of aesthetics and probably performences, the Chargers are a great leap forward from both the LTD and Impala.
