This is happening and 70000 is not a huge number when you think that there is 320 000 000 people over there.

The AWD models are really FWD with RWD on demand and are not suitable for pursuits so they will not happen with the exception of support vehicles the crown vic will be gone soon and the only real RWD left is the holden built caprice.

BTW have any of you been in a crown vic?? they are so shoddy they have not changed the car other than a few visual things since 1978 it still has leaf suspension!! Think XD falcon but no where near as good so the police that have had the fortune to try the caprice are pushing it really hard as it will be a revolution for them not just in the integrated electronics etc but the actual drivability of the car, safety and comfort.

This will happen and Ford US/AUST missed out big time.
