(AP) — Police Chief Richard Watson admits his department's newest patrol car is a curious departure from its big-horsepower Ford Crown Victorias. But the four-cylinder Pontiac Vibe GT has plenty of pep for policing, he said, and gets twice the gas mileage.Law enforcement agencies across the country looking for ways to cut corners and reduce costs after last year's $4-a-gallon gas are increasingly turning to more fuel-efficient cars.While few expect that more muscular cruisers like the Crown Victorias or Dodge Chargers will be replaced altogether, there's little confidence gasoline will stay below $2 a gallon much longer...Link to full story:

i hope the PDs have done some work on them. i don't think the vibe would be able to keep up in some situations...

I think the Vibe is a great car but I cant see it as a police interceptor car. Its not heavy enough to run another car off the road.

I think the UCF "police" just cruise the campus, like security guards. No high-performance police cruiser needed. Here is a much bigger pic:UCF Police Vibe

I love it. They could always turbo charge it.
