Dodge has been making good inroads with the Charger as a police cruiser, they like to power and the rear wheel drive handling. It's faster then the Crown Vic, but hey, Ford can keep on making them, the world will never run out of old people. The one thing most police departments complain about the new Charger is the rear roof line and door design. Looks good, but it's harder to put a cuffed perp in the backseat than the Ford. The have to grab the perp's melon and shove it downward to get them in the back seat.
I drove a new ('06) Charger police cruiser when they were first introduced, as a matter of fact I had to drive it about 4 miles on the highway, in full dress. I went 68 on a 70 mph highway just to mess with people.
