All-New 2012 Ford Taurus Interceptor Police Car Revealed
March 15, 2010
The BMW 5 series received only 3 stars in a government safe crash rating vs. 5 stars for the police interceptor. In addition, the current Interceptors (as well as the new ones) are the only mass produced sedan vehicles in the world that passed a 75 MPH (120 Kilometers PH) rear-end cash. That?s right MAK 8!!!
All-New 2012 Ford Taurus Interceptor Police Car Revealed
March 15, 2010
Bristol411S3 - Think safety - I have driven many police vehicles in my career. Currently, my department has the new Chevy Tahoes and Crown Vics (all of our cars are dark blue by the way). I also own a BMW (personal vehicle), it's great for taking corners, accelerating, picking up chicks and fun to drive; that's right, I said fun!
Now let's get down and dirty:
The leading cause of Police Officer deaths in the US is car crashes (automobile accidents). In 2008 for example, 39 Officers got killed from gunfire vs. 44 Officers killed in car accidents.
The BMW 5 series received only 3 stars in a government safe crash rating vs. 5 stars for the police interceptor. In addition, the current Interceptors (as well as the new ones) are the only mass produced sedan vehicles in the world that passed a 75 MPH (120 Kilometers PH) rear-end cash. That?s right *MAK 8*
If Police drove BMWs here in the US, the crash fatalities would double.
What I?m trying to say is that even if they gave me and BMW 5 series for work, I wouldn?t trade it for my safe Ford Police Interceptor. I?m trying to make a living, protect the people and survive here *Bristol411S3*. This is not a biased review; BMW tops my list for a personal affordable vehicle followed by the Ford Interceptor as a Police Vehicle. Believe me; I?ve driven both for at least 4 years!
I agree with everyone when it comes to the new Ford Interceptor?s exterior design ? it?s too soft and fancy for my taste.
