What do cops drive different cars?

Does it mean anything? I mean yeah there's the regular cop cars, Ford Explorers, they mostly drive that here, and the tahoes, do you need to be a higher rank? To get to drive tahoes, Ford Taurus, challengers, and chargers? Whateever happened to the ford crown Victorian too, I don't see them around anymore…

I'm here because I also want to know the answer.

Ford stopped making the Crown Vic in 2011. What cars they drive now depends on the department and how it's chief perceives departmental needs. Many departments are buying the latest model Chevy Caprice.

I policed a few years back. The old model Chevy Caprice police package had a Corvette engine. My fastest speed was 154 mph.

  • Why would people buy older foreign cars instead of brand new American cars? I see it all the time, people driving 7-8 year old Mercedes or BMWs that they paid probably paid around $20,000. They could of easily gone out and bought a brand new Ford or Dodge, but they didn't. They bought a Mercedes with over 100k miles. All worn and torn on the inside. But aslong as they're shining on the outside I guess.
  • Why do car companies sell in different countries under different names? Why are companies like Chevrolet selling their cars under names like Holden in Australia? I'm not sure if Chevrolet sells in Australia but I do think they do. If they already sell in Australia, what's the point of selling the same thing under Holden? Another example is some Ford cars are sold under Lincoln, and Chevrolet sells the same thing under GMC. Buick and Opel? What's with this?

  • Is it weird that I think trucks are easier to drive than cars? I'm 17 and I've driven vehicles of different shapes and sizes. I recently noticed something a little strange. I got to drive a 2012 Ford F150 (after driving an Impala) and I noticed I had an easier time driving it. I usually drive a Ford Ranger and I think that's really easy to drive. If I drive a sedan, I have a hard time driving it. I actually learned to drive in a pickup truck. Is this weird that I have an easier time driving SUVs and pickups instead of a car?
