.... Ya ... They're Good cars as far as I'm concerned. I've filmed a few chases in the Interceptor and love the power and response of the vehicle plus they look good too. .... Not a big fan of the Ford Crown Vic ... they seem clunky in comparison.

.... I live in the L.A. area and have to commute from about 40 miles from out in the Burbs. Tired of spending money on gas for my SUV guzzler. Been thinking of getting a new Cruze cuz of the MPG's and the style and apportionment of the vehicles plus it's supposed to be quite a reliable vehicle.
