    Chevy Goes Mad!..Max With New Police Cruiser

    At the International Association of Chiefs of Police convention in Denver on Monday, Chevrolet introduced the Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV), which it hopes to begin delivering to law enforcement agencies in 2011, and talk about a delivery.

    The police Caprice is to be based on a car sold by General Motors' Australian arm known as the Holden Statesman, and will be built along side that vehicle in the Down Under city of Elizabeth. Until recently, GM imported the smaller Pontiac G8 sedan from the same facility.

    Pricing and full specifications have not yet been released, but the current Chevrolet Impala police package starts at $25,000. Unfortunately, there are no plans to offer the vehicle to the general public...yet.

    Ya reason GM did this was to corner the police market since as of 2010 ford will no longer build the crown vic. Otherwise ford wants to offer police versions of the new taurus, but who knows if this`ll be a suitable replacement for the crown vic.

    I'll tell you, Australia really knows how to make a good car. Look up the Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst Edition...
