The Smart Car, while amusing, is at least rear-wheel-drive, making it better than the Camry or Impala.

Ford should make a diesel crown vic.

Actually, around here it was the smaller departments that adopted the Charger first. Dallas was one of the very last in the DFW area while the small/smaller towns changed over first.

The “Smart Cars” are good cop cars for Euro cities — they don’t make sense in the US. Similarly, in most Euro cities, a Crown vic would be too large — it’d never fit down most lanes in Paris

I think the Tata Nano would be perfect. It’s coming on the market at $8,000 a pop.
Actually the price is more like $2,500

The price you quote is if you buy it in India. If you were to get one here it would be about $8,000 because it would have to be modified to meet our safety and pollution requirements.

I agree — when crims see THAT in their rear-view mirrors, they’ll double-over laughing and stop/crash :-)

I thought it does meet US pollution norms, but is not rated for highway use
