 ?Almost 85 percent of the 70,000 U.S. police car market is made up of
Crown Victorias that cost 21,000 to $23,000 per car. Police
departments like the Crown Victoria because it large enough for the
officers' laptops and equipment in the front, prisoners in the back
and its rear-wheel drive gives officers a feeling of better control at
high speeds and corners.?

The police car market might be on the verge of becoming interesting again. 

?It has long been dominated by the Ford Crown Victoria, which accounts
for 85 percent of all cop cars sold in the USA. But two new entries
from Dodge could shake things up.

?Dodge said last week at the auto show here that it will roll out a
police car version of Charger. That's in addition to the
law-enforcement edition of Magnum announced last year. After a 12-year
hiatus, Dodge got back into the market with Intrepid.?

?But the front-wheel-drive car had just 4 percent of the approximately
70,000-vehicle market before Dodge phased it out in 2003.?
