Yes the BMW and Chrysler are for Highway Patrol - the new Commodores I saw were general service patrol cars.

Here they are already using the Hyundai Stingers as highway pursuit vehicles.

General service vehicles are still the last of the Dunny dores,and Falcons.

The newer vehicles seem to be Camrys and some Korean things either Kia or Hyundai.

They will be sensor mountings for measuring individual cylinder readings when they are testing ..........

A lot of ponies and grunt coming out of that motor.

Wonder how it'd go in my POS on gas?

cheers, DL

Rangie might be good, but it leaves me shaking my head at the big HP motors LR are putting into some of their vehicles but they're still not too flash in acceleration... they're too heavy.

If you want a sporty ride, the latest Jaguar F-Type looks (and goes) like the goods! Be nice if I could afford one!

Are there any "Purebreeds" (for want of better words) around anymore. The whole (OEM) industry seems very incestuous.

That is so true.

For instance, look at a 1970 jaguar, and a 1970 range rover. Chalk and cheese, each focused on their thing.

Now they sometimes are mostly the same.

A 1970 jaguar is also quite distinguishable from a run of the mill passenger car. So many features of these jaguars were focused. Jaguars had low silouettes, large wheels, a chassis that had spaceframe elements, a strong english wood and leather interior ambience, suspension that was considered very plush and yet also handled. They pushed the limits of luxury and sportiness in one package. Then they started badge engineering rovers to be jaguars (?)

.

And we now have heavily modified hatchbacks being called a range rover.
