Oh my god, not another Carbon Motors post....
Those pics have been floating around the internet for YEARS now.
Lets not forget about the Caprice that's out now, or will be here shortly.
I'm not impressed with the Taurus. I dont see any agencies having the funds laying around to buy twin turbo models. I just dont see it.
I just got an '11 CVPI so that'll last me for another couple years. Hopefully, I'll be in a Caprice with the 6.2 in it.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean the're not nice looking purpose built cars. They should be hitting the streets early next year, and according to the manufacture website they already have over 16,000 orders. That's not a bad start considering that they are a private company that is solely going to produce this car. Not like Ford,Chevy,or Dodge which have made regular non-purpose built cars in which agencies just strap some emergency equipment on them. Beside most all of these cars will be out at around the same time in early 2012 with the exception of the charger which is already in service. However, a new Charger Pursuit model is coming out soon. I guess in about 8 to 10 months we will see who likes which, and we will be talking about which is the better vehicle.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, because it's definitiely not. You gotta remember though that agencies look at the big picture, not if it's purpose built. If they've got 100 cars to buy, lets say a CVPI or Impala at $22k a piece to replace older models, do the math. If these things are going for $25k a piece, that doesn't buy you 100 cars. Agencies like lowest bid.

Sorry, Charlie, but you have to change that to "Hope to be made in Indiana". Last I checked, they were dead in the water without a huge multimillion dollar federal grant given under some DOE program to increase fuel efficiency. About the orders, they have folks who have said they would by XX amount, if it ever gets built, but no legal contracts with anyone. Ah, here it is.
