Possible New NSW Police Car

It's pretty normal for manufacturers to loan cars to the cops for "evaluation". just an excuse for the manufacturer to send photos to the papers to get a free plug.
If I recall last week or so there was a Smart car also done up in police livery.

IMHO not much of a chance of either becoming standard cop issue.

This is also why manufacturers give cars to "celebrities". BMW used to loan cars willy nilly to anyone who was on telly for more than 10 seconds.

AFAIR BMW loaned to Peter Russell Clark, Hans Tholstrup ( I gave him a bike also)

I know , I did it.

I think you will find it is an evo 10. I have had the pleasure of driving one and its the fastest car ive ever driven.

Yeah it looks like an evo, has the brembos and different front quarterpanels/bonnet i think

Word on the street is they'll be sticking with XR-6 turbos and SS Commodores for a while yet. The deal they get from Ford and GM is too good to pass on. Also, the Evo won't carry all the crap needed these days... the Falcon's having a battle with it as is.

My earliest memory was of an XD (351) filling the rear view mirror - gulp!
