'Murica

Because they are compact cars and can't take the beating that comes with Law Enforcement/Govt use most police cars historically in America have been typically full size, rear wheel drive, V-8 powered, four door sedans. The shift had gone toward using more Domestic SUVs in some capacity. Some areas that foreign auto companies can't compete with America because we make better vehicles another area is Pick-Up trucks.

Because the puny honda is not a worthy pursuit vehicle

Size.

Actually, there are quite a few Hondas being used by cops. I even know one agency that uses a Toyota Prius. The decision of what car to use is made by the budgeting agency, like a city council or a county commission or a state legislature. That is partly based on finance and on recommendations of the cops. The cops generally prefer a bigger car for more stable handling and because in these days cops need room for multiple computers and radios and such.

They do not make motorbikes, And they can't import a good cop car into America.

  • 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.
  • Can a police officer buy a brand new unmarked police car with out his department's Do Dodge and Ford sell their unmarked police cars to individual police officers if the officers directly contact Dodge or Ford? Or do they only sell their unmarked police cars directly to police departments? Happy Gramps You are wrong. Dodge and Ford have their factory equipped Charger and Ford Interceptor (Taurus) models with police packages
  • Ford, Dodge, Toyota or Chevrolet? I'm a Ford/Dodge kind of guy. I hear the saying, "Chevy Runs Deep." Well what's gonna tow it back out? Haha. But for real, maybe throw in some fact with your answer. Mine is that the Fords came first, they're lighter, RUSTY WALLACE, and just the entire F series.
  • What are some cool things to my car that arent ghetto? I have a 2001 ford focus zx3 and want to make it cooler. Any ideas on cool things I can do that won't make it look ghetto. Trying to make it more of an off roader look.
