Agreed on many points.
The Crown Vics are compete junk.
The Dodge Chargers are better, but not great.
It is the same mindset that leaves some departments issuing their officers 9mm handguns with no alternative, while the criminals are carrying .45s and better. Why would you allow your cops to be "out-gunned"? Similarly, why wouldn't you have them driving the best car available?
