Oh no.....evil fleet sales rearing it's ugly head....someone get Mulally on the phone quick to kill this deal....the residuals on Fusion will tank now....

That clip is blocked due to copyright laws...no one in the US can see it....

The fact that it (Police Interceptor) doesn't have the Taurus name or grille on it, and that Ford beefed everything for this purpose built vehicle ensures that Taurus sales will not be harmed as much as some here would have you believe.....wonder if the Utility Interceptor will have a similar grille treatment from the Explorer unibody vehicle it will be derived from...I am sure the performance/severe duty pieces will all be there...

...and a Pontiac G8

The new Police Utility Interceptor will no doubt be the new uni-body Explorer...

How much you guys wanna bet that the column shifter ends up in the new Explorer as well....

Sorry....that isn't it....that is from a few years ago....

Cadillac will always be tied to GM as Lincoln will always be tied to Ford.....anyone that thinks otherwise is also able to be sold a bridge in Brooklyn....My opinion is that there is nothing wrong with telling the world that "The Standard of the World" is in fact from the house of General Motors.

Dang it...ya beat me to it......

<cough cough> P71 anyone???

Carlos Ghosn doesn't even own a pair of Italian shoes....

I am thinking a solid rear axle so it can compete with Panther??

In honor of the soon to retire (again) Bob Lutz.... The Converj will be resurrected on a G8 chassis and named simply, BLS (Bob Lutz Special)

The wall? Or the embankment.....

...and RSC

You're both wrong...it will be the: 16V V8 8V GT EV-V

What he said... Just to be clear, not the same guy....He is Tornado....my screen name is twintornados, but I do see his point...

Wait for it...Bob Lutz will announce that it will be built on a G8 chassis.....

Agreed jpd80, but remember that if the chassis was re-configured to handle a "north/south" orientation of the drivetrain, then the motor would sit closer to the centerline of the strut towers and the transmission would be far behind them into the chassis, plus the added weight of the differential in the rear would also come off the front axle weight.

What vehicle in Fords' worldwide operations is currently available in FWD and RWD applications? Transit full size. This lends credence to the argument that either a sedan will be built off that chassis, or since Ford already has experience with having one chassis available in FWD and RWD, logically they would be able to make a D3 variant into a RWD sedan....

While the Ecoboost V6 is a costly option for law enforcement duty....I think that the new 305HP V6 found in the Mustang would work just as well in an AWD or FWD D3 based PI vehicle....

Can I get the lyrics to this?? :shades:

Looking back to the beginnings of this epic thread....thankfully Deanh's prediction was wrong.....hopefully...I mean, the horizon is still out there.....

Which would have made it easy to fold Hummer into GMC, there are only three vehicles in the lineup, H2, H2T, and H3 :shrug:

Toyota Racing Development....the original "TRD" in the punch bowl....
