wat a waste of money i rekon police cars dont need to be fast IF they get into a chase which happins once every blue moon, then wats the point of a fast car, so they can overtake them, or nudge them off the road at 180kmph + like in movies haha most high speed chases are in pieces of **** that dont even go fast and the commo v6 can keep up with anyway and a m3 is stupid, whats the point of paying all that money so they can cruise around with all these luxaries that bmws come with haha im sure whoever gets arrested and throw in the back will love it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

They are always testing new vehicles: Audi A4, A6, BMW 3 series, M series, Camrys, Aurions, WRXs, EVOs, etc... you name it. If they are using new cars, I guarantee its because they are saving money (probably through higher resale value and/or better fuel economy) without compromising on performance and reliability.

The new Aurion seems a smart choice - 200Kw on standard unleaded. Man these things are a rocketship, drove one for the first time the other day... w00t!!!! Can't wait till they bring out the TRD 240Kw supercharged version Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

"adding the ultimate hoon car to their fleet" an Astra? seriously there aint nothing ultimate about the astra. be funny seeing all these p plater chicks getting pulled up now haha. and all youd have to do is run into it and its dead haha id like to see an astra pull a strategic manuvior on hot persuit haha i have seen undercover cops in 180's and silvias before pulling people over. so its really nothing new. just dont drag off at lights and pretty hard to get caught then.
