Ford’s new Taurus-based Interceptor will be available with the 3.5 liter Duratec, or the twin-turbo Ecoboost engine. Front wheel drive is standard, and AWD will be an option. But then, if you got to use other people’s tax money to buy your work ride, would you really save the few bucks by not buying the 365 hp, AWD version? Of course not. You are the law! Libraries can always have bake sales. [via Jalopnik]

- Lou_BC A pickup for most people would be a safe used car bet. Hard use/ abuse is relatively easy to spot and most people do not come close to using their full capabilities.
- Lorenzo People don't want EVs, they want inexpensive vehicles. EVs are not that. To paraphrase the philosopher Yogi Berra: If people don't wanna buy 'em, how you gonna stop 'em?
- Ras815 Ok, you weren't kidding. That rear pillar window trick is freakin' awesome. Even in 2024.
- Probert Captions, pleeeeeeze.
- ToolGuy Companies that don't have plans in place for significant EV capacity by this timeframe (2028) are going to be left behind.

"Dear Ford, Thank you for building such a mediocre appliance. We sure appreciate being handed the police market on a silver platter. It will go well next to the ambulance market you handed us. Your friend, GM"
Whether this will sell or not probably will come down to how it does in the reviews that police academy publishes. I don't read about the Charger's IRS breaking under police use so I doubt FWD will be an issue outside of pit maneuvers. Sure precincts have stayed away from FWD cars in the past but those were all shitty cars to begin with. The Impala and Intrepid were/are garbage in civie clothes I doubt they could polish those turds much for police use.
