VE Police Cars

[KITTAU]

I wonder which models in the VE range will be used as Police Cars?? Will they use the V8 SS for hwy patrol cars or the V8 SS-V Series?

 

[1991_Vn2nV]

I see no reason why they would use the SS-V over the SS?

 

[maxy0987]

id say the standard SS version will be used. Purely because the SS-V is full of optional extras they dont want/need.
All the cops want is a fast car that handles well, not one with leather seats, climate control, etc etc

yeah they are going to use the ss. it was on that spec sheet that was leaked just before the launch. i'll attach it cause i suppose no-one will mind anymore...

i still havnt seen a ve police car. if someone sees one can they take a pic? for some reason i think police cars look cool. is that weird?

Omega, SV6 and SS then?

Interesting that they chose the SV6... is this common interstate? No SV6 cop cars here in SA that I have seen.

would they put the 8 in the omega?

People are forgeting unmarked cars...

Here in the ACT, there isn't a model in the VZ series I haven't seen as a Police car. Even an unmarked Caprice and quite a few unmarked Calais'.

The SV6 is VERY popular with the ACT Traffic Ops guys as an un-marked car.

Here is my predicition:

Omega V6 - General Duties (marked and unmarked)
SV6 - Unmarked Traffic Duties / Unmarked Detectives / Seargent's (unmarked)
SS - Fully marked and high visibility cars for traffic ops and hwy patrol.
SSV, Berlina, Calais & CalaisV Unmarked - all duties (incl. dignantary [sp?] escort cars).

There won't be a VE the police won't have. Hell, they drive so many vehicles these days, Volkswagens, Mitsubish 380s, Volvos, Nissan X-Trails, Subarus, Mini Coopers, Ford Territorys, the whole Falcon line up, the list goes on!...

I dont think we are 'forgetting' the unmarked cars as such... its just we dont care about them.

The question was aimed at marked/actual cop cars. Not unmarked cop cars.

 

[Scotty_Doesn't_Know]

A cop car is a cop car whether it be marked or unmarked. And the answer to your question is yes, SV6 cop cars are fairly abundant.
