Ford Edge...are Crossovers The Future Of Police Vehicles?

摘要

What will the future police vehicles look like? That's easy. They will look exactly like future retail vehicles. They will have the same size passenger compartments. They will have the same size trunks. They will have the same size engines. Rewind back to 1996 and the good ol' days of the Caprice: Corvette V-8. Rear-wheel drive. A 116-inch wheelbase. Roomy interior, both front and back. Massive trunk. As fast around a road course as a Mustang. Yet the future of retail cars at that time, and actually the reality of retail cars at the time, was V-6 powered, front-wheel drive, midsize cars. Smaller engines. Smaller interiors. Smaller trunks. In four short years, the iconic Caprice police car of yesterday became the Impala of today. Today's Impala is where the future of police cars was in the mid-1990s...a very typical (and now large) retail car.
