I've only seen online pics. Thankfully they haven't started using them around here yet! :D

Amazingly there is one on the local Ford lot here, all black and nasty looking. If I get a chance I'll go get a pic

I have not seen one yet, but I did spy one of those new GM rear-drive ones that the new "SS" is based off of. 

Sorry but I think these are cooler than the Taurus.  You gotta have RWD in a cop car!

the Luxo Barge caprice... keeping Australia's manufacturing alive :P
we don't even use them as police cars, we use the short wheel base version.

I like the new Taurus, pretty menacing looking car.

From what I understand, this new SS is going to be the short wheel base version as well?  The one I saw was pretty cool lookin.  I didn't even think they were out in large numbers yet, was very surprised to see one. 

I will agree the new Taurus is nice looking as well.  My uncle and my in-laws have identical red 2010 Taurus Limited's and both are very nice cars.  I'd love to drive one of the SHO models to see how that ecoboost motor runs.
