looks bad-ass!! the single talon on the dash is a waste IMO

Well with the CVPI departure the Tahoe is the only way to go to get the same body on frame performance. Sure the Caprice is nice, but nothing like a Tahoe for intimidation factor. Looks great in B&W and good to see another big city going to B&W.

Nice Ride !!

It looks really good. I would add Mirror Beams. I like the single Avenger on the dash it's somthing diffrent.

I wonder if the Ford sedan is another mistake by the reporter. The Taurus ppv is not for sale yet, or even in production. I'm thinking they ment the Caprice. I always liked the solid baby blue cop cars, nothing screamed Houston better.

Those definitely stud out.

I think Ford has Police Interceptors (both Sedan and Utility) for demo. Being a huge city, I am sure it wouldnt be hard to get one.

I know Ford has a couple of demo/ show cars, but they are still testing pre production vehicles, and no manufacture in their right mind would give a pre production car out for real time patrol use. Way too much liability. And a pre production car would have a lot of conditions attached to use, so it would not have a fair evaluation. Also, if HPD was testing a Taurus, they would also be testing an Explore PPV, stands to reason. I'm betting its Tahoe, Charger, and caprice. All RWD.

Nice!


I wonder when the production Ford units will start coming out? At Police Fleet Expo, they said production was starting in January.

These are absolutely SEXAY!!! :jawdrop: :salivate:

The article in reference to the Ford Sedan AKA Ford Interceptor(Taurus) is correct. It is "rumored" that the release could be around April 2012. In fact the 2007 Chevy Tahoe was released in 4/07 and the 2011 Dodge Charger was released back in 4/2011 as well. April seems to always have been a target year for some reason. The Ford Interceptor has already been tested at the Michigan State Police Test for 2012 and did really well.

Don't forget to mention the new Camaro "ghost" traffic units..... What are there, 7 of 'em?
