It looks way better than the actual Police pack Impala IMHO.

That's one ugly cop car grille. It fits.

Eh. I think it's time for Cops to have their OWN car that is not available to people. What a joke they are bringing over a new model before it's even available to consumers.

Now that's fit for Robocop! Whose making these things? They have to have large corporate backing as I don't think most police departments will trust a start up mfg.

Carbon Motors is the company, not sure who is backing them but they may have some kind of government funding I believe as well.Extra features:-The back is a type of plastic that is able to be hosed down (for the pukers, spitters, dirty people)-The back seats have indents for the handcuffed person to sit normal and be buckled in instead of leaning to the side.-Diesel engine gets good mpg and decent performance numbers-light bars are all integrated into the car (less drag and more visibility with full LED all around, not just on the top and retrofitted to the head and taillamps.-Suicide door for wider opening in putting people in the car.-Completely separate front to back seat for protection and isolation.-Built in computer system instead of having bulky laptops hanging all over.-Cusom gun holder built into car

Very cool looking indeed! I thought it was a Acura at first. "The back seats have indents for the handcuffed person to sit normal and be buckled in instead of leaning to the side"Why do they have to be comfortable??? Should be a short drive to the station anyway!!!LOL

This vehicle looks like a Pontiac G8 with a different front end.

[star_deceiver]

19 inch wheels??? Eh whatever, it's the taxpayer who pays for that overpriced rubber! I wonder who'll be the first gangsta to sue for hitting their head on the rear window?

[Whelan]

Larger wheels allow for a better tire to handle performance driving (i.e. less shoulder roll)

[Old Tele man]

...RoboCop...exactly!
