Post Peugeots too slow, French police get Subarus
PARIS (Reuters) - The next time a criminal in a getaway car in France looks in the rear window the chances are that the vehicle in pursuit will be a blue French police Subaru.

i saw one of the new chargers in police livery (black/white) drive past me in pville.
it didn't have any logos or light bars on it but it had the takedown spotlight installed.

then i found this pic on a link from the subaru article:

looks like dodge is trying to push back into the public services.

I'm sorry, what wasn't clear? The picture of the previous generation car, or the word "POLICE" written in ENGLISH all over it?

Man... first the Japanese police, now the French police...

Hey Ban SUVs I love those VW commercials! Amazing how versatile that actor is (him + long hair and scruffy beard + prison garb = Abruzzi from prison break)
