What do you's think the coppers are gonna use...   Not these apparently ..   I'll have a guess, maybe Chrysler C300 ?  Lexus-GSF-police-car.jpg

Hi Chaos,  I asked the HWP bloke who helped change a tyre the  other day,  - he said the Mustangs had failed the "hard driving"" test. ( apparently the brake issues were fixable, but there were other issues, didnt say what)

Thus it was now between the Chrysler 300 and some sort of turbo Volvo.

Ha, they might as well if the alternative is a NA V6 Opel sedan! At least they could put a paddy box on the back and throw drunks in it rather than in the back seat!

Are Toyota going to import Camry from the USA? Over there they have an dual VVTi 3.5L V6 (2GR-FE) that is also in the Tacoma but as an Atkinson cycle 2GR-FKS. It is getting close to 300hp with a decent exhaust for the 2GR-FE and over 310hp for the 2GR-FKS. If Toyota import the Camry with one of these maybe Camry cop cars isn't as silly as it sounds? We might also get it in Hilux to compete with VW's new hi-po V6 Amarok?

Not sure if petrol or diesel, but these are already a dime-a-dozen up this way. Some 2WD's around but mostly 4WD.

2GR-FE is a terrible engine with a number of design faults.

Now that the Aussie dollar is weak, and Trump is planning to mess up all the imports and international trade, cant we just keep Holden open!!?? Itd make sense!

Had a discussion with a member of Vic HWP at a local show about 2 weeks ago. He is based in Benalla, therefore Hume Hwy is his turf. His thoughts are that Commodores will be available to them for about 2 years, the brass is no doubt looking at a variety of vehicles, but given Vic Police pursuit policy these days the criteria that is important is 0-100 KPH in 6 seconds, if someone wants to do a runner they spike them or shadow them with a chopper these days. The days of long high speed pursuits are behind them he said. The Mustang had issues with overheating transmissions when flogged hard, no doubt easily fixed, but "out of the box" failed the tests. I suggested a Ford RS Focus like the one I recently bought would be handy ( yeah, Ford, I know) 0-100 in 4.7 secs, top speed 266 kph, standing 1/4 mile 13.2 secs would be usefull, but as he said, big burly coppers in a smallish car could be a problem. He did ask for a drive though :driving:!!

I thought the New Ford Mustang was getting looked at, they tested it and had some problems but Ford were going to look at that. GM Boss that was a Holden Boss said he will push the GM board to get a RHD Camaro made for the Aussie market, time will tell.

From what I heard of the Mustang, the transmission overheated?

I agree Holden should just ignore Detroit and keep working, that would be the Aussie thing to do :spoton:

The government should buy the Holden nametag off GM and just take all of the land and plants back, but that will never happen as that would be good for us.

You mean the government  that decided to stop funding our local car industry which then led to all the car companies pulling out?

 

Don't think they care mate.
