because if everyone thought that way we would still be in the 1800s
I also don't see how attempts to shield local business from competition is at all better for the country.

Our London-built Crown Vic has been the most widely used cruiser in North America since 1996 , maybe we should give someone else a chance
I was pulled over by one of these tan coloured minivans last year on Yonge between Sheppard and Finch. I started watching out for them and see them more and more frequently. I didn't notice any decals on the vehicle though, just low-pro sirens on the dash. I'll look carefully for the decals next time as I was wondering whether it was legal for a patrol car to be unmarked. Although, I consider a cruiser with decals that are the same colour as the vehicle's paint to be essentially "unmarked".
Pretty sure if it was illegal, something would have been done by now, considering most departments have huge fleets of completely unmarked cars lol

Americans should have been buying something American that whole time?
Absolutely, 100% agree. Give them souped up Honda Civics form Alliston.

Y'all must know they also rotate on a weekly basis ANY car into their undercover line right?
No?
lol
That's what makes undercover car threads so derp.
The reviews of these Charger were, lets say, less than favourable. You cannot see anything from inside of that car, the windows are tiny, the hood is high (to accomodate that truck engine that Chrysler stuffed in it), so the visibility is garbage.

oopps moment. Fixed
I saw an old beat up jeep used once. Was speeding along the 407 came up beside it noticed the lights and the decal on the side. Freaked out and tucked in behind him. Spent the next 30 min laughing my head off as everyone else did the same as me. Figured they must be laughing harder in the jeep. But I used to live near a police station in Markham and I gave up thinking they drive specific cars when I saw a beetle with lights etc sitting in their lot. All brands are fair game.
Is the Taurus much better? Both seem to have much higher hood lines and smaller windows compared to the CVPs.
The new Caprice will be the standard car for most forces soon.
I didn't say that the Taurus was better. I said that Charger was not accepted by the police force, that's why most of them still drive in the Crown Victorias. Who knows where the wind will blow next time, and they will pick a Taurus or Caprice, or whatever else is more politically friendly when they'll be picking their next vehicle.
There is a black one also with black tinted windows. But I have not seen it out lately

WHoa, 2 marked patrol cars in one day, in st. catharines - one pulled over a car and another was parked at a tims
LOL only time I ever see cops is at a Tims or parked at the back of some empty car lot doing nothing.

my issue with the the popo using all these different cars is the cost to maintain them...the crown vic is a tank for the job that it does, anyone know if the newer cars cost less in maintenance compared to the old vics? the newer ones being front wheel drive must be tougher on the vehicles...
on average 50% of an officers day is paperwork. has it occurred to you that they might be doing paperwork in that empty car park..
