I found myself sitting in a waiting room the other at a doctors office and picked an old issue of I think it was Car and Driver. I found out about the new Police cars the Carbon E-7 looks like a pretty interesting car 300hp diesel integrated lights in the roof and get this will not be sold to civilians.

Not sold to civilians you say? I wonder what they’d do if I needed one to police my neighborhood.

Interesting concept. I wonder how well Police Departments are going to take to an ‘unknown’ product/company. Most fleet managers buy the current machines because they are familiar with them, easy to get parts, & fairly easy to service/add on/upgrade components. I’ll bet it is expensive, too.

Good luck to them.

I agree, but think about who is purchasing these vehicles. I’m sure they are traditionalists & aren’t interested in an “exotic” police cruiser.

I wish them well, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they fold due to lack of sales.

Just my .02
