    I'd put all the cops in Cushman trikes and Thinks. I can't see how the majors would let this part of their fleet business get eroded. I see some substantial price competition. Besides, this car looks like it should cost twice what most municipalities would pay.

    So, we have a specific-designed task-focused dedicated police car created from the ground up to do one job very well. It's crammed with technogadgets and doo-dad's that are expensive, add complexity and are incompatible with current police technology.


    The car is completely different than anything else in police fleets, which means added repair cost and potential maintenance nightmares.


    And it's all from a company that feels their product will be price competitive against products mfr'd by some the largest corporations on earth, all of whom are willing to cut sweetheart deals with fleet buyers.


    Even if Carbon captures 50% of the police fleet market, is that enough business to make this venture remotely profitable?

    What will they use for undercover cars now? Oh, and how much do you think it would cost to replace that front fender Johnny Cop just busted? Without economies of scale for replacement parts (including what I take as a totally new engine), I just don't see how any local municipality can afford to change over to these.

    @MustangMike: They'll probably start migrating to confiscated black Cayennes for their undercover cars. At least you'll be able to see them coming.

    Those exposed door handles were made for locking cops in their cars. I can't believe they haven't been changed yet. Let some gang bangers stress test this fine police car!

    Mystery caller for me???????


    Who is it?


    Eazy-E?? It can't be, he's dead.


    He has a message for us, well what does he say?


    He says F*ck the police!


    Oh that Eazy E, he's so crazy.


    I'm just playing around. On the serious side, these guys hae set the bar high and the price low. I wonder how many price increases we'll see between now and 2012?


    All in all though, it's pretty bad-ass.
