It was the Toyota Prius that killed the cop car, when car manufacturers made cars like Crown Victoria as fleet vehicles it was the Taxi Industry that made them profitable, because the Taxi Industry was purchasing the bulk of them, particularly in the cities where you had far more taxis than police cars. When the Taxi Industry switched to the Prius that made fleet vehicles like the Crown Vic unprofitable, police didn’t have enough purchasing power so they were discontinued

When Vegas was transitioning from the crown vic to the SUV I saw a rare police chase on surface streets. The suspect went into the dirt median to make a U turn and the first couple of SUVs followed with no problem. The poor guy in the crown vic got stuck in the dirt. The units behind him stopped and watched him go back and forth for a minute before they went around him. It was hilarious and showed the upgrade was necessary.

this is a common myth that regular cars ("compacts" as you call them even though the charger, crown vic, caprice etc are full-size sedans) are more dangerous in a crash. pretty much any car made in the 21st century has robust crumple zones that are more than capable of tanking the hit from a large vehicle - SUVs on the other hand are incredibly dangerous because their higher center of gravity makes them more susceptible to rolling over

Even if your area does have a decent network of sidewalks, there's the constant threat of being eviscerated by one of these monstrosities.

I still see this as a recipe for disaster. Sure, the SUVs are more practical but they are garbage when it comes to evasive maneuvers or any type of handling. Plus, more mass to lug around means being down on the power. Sedans are nice and lightweight with absolutely no risk of roll over. The Crown Vic and Charger have very respectable trunks for being sedans so there's no excuse to only push for SUVs. Judging by that cops' comment, this was filmed in 2023 because he mentioned that this will be the last year of the fully ICE Charger which was, in fact, discontinued in December 2023. BIG MISTAKE on Dodge for doing that! They were the last domestic manufacturer still supplying police agencies with a high displacement 4-door sedan. And the Crown Vic was put out to pasture way before the SUV craze went into affect back in 2011. The difference between then and now is that the Crown Vic was replaced by other sedans such as the Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus. Now, there's nothing left. So sad 😢

It's pretty normal for European countries to transport people by van, thus negating the need for a vehicle big enough for two adults to sit behind each other with a giant steel cage between them. And honestly it's a function of necessity, these SUVs couldn't effectively patrol the typical Ireland or London suburbs without bashing through every unfortunate bloke in their path. Motorcycles have even less space, they have lights, sirens, and radios that fit in the saddlebag with a mic for the driver. Another thing to consider is Americans drive like fucking shit and are on the phone 90% of the time, so a big safe car with lots of bright lights is basically a necessity for someone's who's job is to be in the streets every day.

SUVs are a preference not being forced upon the popo. Many countries use them quite sparingly still. I can’t imagine in built up areas they offer too many advantages.

The new charger may see some police use since it’s still an aggressive looking sedan and will be fairly fast

Fun fact, when the reporter said "most manufacturers" he should have said American manufacturers. Non-us based automakers still make sedans and are quite successful. Please dont by an SUV

In my country our police force mainly makes use of trucks. Arrested persons are then thrown into the back where its not a very comfortable ride.

Still would like sedans to be reproduced in the in the luxury market again. Not enough variety out there now, every consumer shouldn’t drive the same body vehicles. There should be more sedans, convertibles, coupes, stretches etc. options available from American automakers like it was in the 1980s.

I don't like big vehicles. My car is a 1999 manual Toyota corolla with 322 thousand miles. My truck is a 1996 manual Mazda b2300 with only 160 thousand. Both are base model, small, easy to repair, cheap to repair, and best of all, fuel efficient, and reliable! Plus I don't have a car note. Went to buy a new corolla last year, they told me that they discontinued the manual transmission unless you get the GR Corolla. I said, no thanks, ill keep daily driving my old one.

SUV are a very sucky trend. They are bad for very many reasons. My cities police SUV are often pimped out with (I have heard of) $18000 worth of blue and red lights, it is really ridiculous. Like a carnival ride! Who chooses this crap for the taxpayers to pay for?
