the charger is junk! its waaayy to heavy! and they are going through motors like crazy....the charger is a money pit ....officers like to drive the to boost there ego!....and georgia is crazy enough to buy some SRT8 chargers! thats the biggest waste of money I have ever seen! they can not justify cops riding around in a car that cost 62,000 dollars before all the police goodies are added.....they need to cut back on spending and buy some cheaper cars and stop buying hot rods!
Why the claim they will only sell the car to law enforcement?
Why?
There is nothing so super special about the car for that restriction?
Heck due to the crash frame to claimed stand up to a 70mph crash? Think of the lives that would be saved?? I have a BC4 Camaro that Chevy only sells to Law Enforcement whoo Hoo NOT...
The only difference between it and a Z-28 is heavy duty electrics, suspension and about an additional 50-60 HP. Gee that is really gonna give the crumbs an advantage..
also, it has 360 degree lights to prevent t-bone accidents, back seats are plastic and has drain at bottom, back seatbelts buckle from inside out to prevent headbutting to officers, touch screen internet system, suicide doors to put arrestees in back of car easier and its american and will create jobs. as a future police officer, i would feel much safer in this car than anything else. the other cars you mentioned are made for the public, this car is made for police officers.
before you "dis" this car, read more about it and possibly go on the website for more information but it is the best and safest police car to date. this car will run on clean diesel, have bullet-proof dash panels and doors, a detector to detect if there is any biological weapons on a person, it will have internal and external cameras, automatic license plate recognition system...
that's what I mean. I don't care what police cars look like as long as they're as functional, versatile, and capable possible and cost as little as possible. likewise, the prospective customers of the E7 (the police/government) has the same sensibilities and likely values styling least relative to other qualities.
@shadowhunter388 well its good to hear that you are going to be a police officer.. but if you do research the e7, its got everything a police officer needs to keep safe and to fulfill all his duties, i do love the chargers though.. these two are my top favs
I know that carbon won't sell this car to anybody but police forces, but there's always the chance that Bruce Wayne can buy one in secret, customize it, and then drive it around as the Batmobile.....;)
I'm not a cop but I LOVE my Interceptor! But mines one of the "slow" ones its a 99, it lacks power *for now* but the 3.55 gears really make up for it. Only problem is it still looks like a cop car.....for now. lol
Well I know the reason why the Philadelphia Police use Impalas and I think this car would be a good vehicle for them to use as a alternative to the Crown Victoria, Impala and Charger. This car also almost reminds me of the civic class cruisers in Need for Speed Most Wanted, Carbon and Undercover and I personally think EA should put this car in the next NFS game as the civic class cruisers.
That thing will never sell. What department would be dumb enough to spend money on one of these when they can pick up 3 Crown Vics for the same price? Maintenance on those will be a killer too. I can just imagine the price of those 18" tires.
dew is right. Pricing is going to be along the lines of what it costs a normal cruiser today. Consider you are not purchasing just a Crown Vic, but also all the necessary equipment to make it a police cruiser and the price goes substantially upwards. Maintanence could be an issue but im sure there will be something worked out along those lines. And with the estimated 30mpg compared to a 10 maybe 15 mpg rating of cruisers today, you will save more in the long run.
It's about time that Police get a purpose built car. I mean sure the new Chargers are a nice upgrade from the Caprice and Crown Vics, but even those are not built specifically for Police. This has been a long time coming and finally here, I can not wait to see these hit the streets.
Saw it in person today in San Jose CA. The features are amazing. It won't be on the street til late 2012 at the earliest. Whether Carbon Motors can truly keep their promise and make this car cost competitive so that they will truly become prolific remains to be seen. I hope they are successful. They have absolutely thought of everything a cop ever dreamed of in a car, but it's still not a motorcycle :)

It's not $100,000 its price when it comes out in 2012, will be competitive with the Crown Vic & Charger
