Well what a time of transition. From the cherished Ford Crown Victoria to the new----and it may just be the a Dodge Charger.
I remember when the insurance industry made the transition from the Chevy Impala full size to the Malibu----What a crisis in the 70's. Maintenance costs cut in half, and mileage doubled. That is a transition that police forces mostly did not make. Any why?
Small towns all across America, mostly a mile in diameter, mostly filled with older folks who turn in early at night, are always protected by law enforcement professionals who are always ready, even though there never has been a robbery, for a would be John Dillinger who might pull a fast one....they are poised in the Dodge Chargers and ready for the ultimate dream chase....the fantasy acceleration plus the fast pull over...no need to use the radio or technology...that's too fancy..only the power of raw Dodge Hemi will do.
Technology and community policing are nice...but when the rubber hits the road, it's really a Hemi that gets the public trust.
So---all across America in police academies everywhere, recruits are being asked tough questions---like..."Compare and contrast the maintenance expense of the Dodge K-Car and the Dodge Hemi. Explain your answer."----

It looks as if GM will rebadge the now defunct--and sorely missed--Pontiac G8 as a Caprice and offer it only as a Police Package. The G8 is, in turn, a rebadged Holden.
