What are the Police driving these days?
Discussion
Not Sting and co. but HM's Police force. I'm planning a small bank robbery in the next few weeks and was just wondering what I need to be able to outrun (I must point out here that I'm just joking before I get arrested).
I remember a time when if you could outrun a big Ford/Vauxhall/Rover or possibly a Range Rover you were laughing. Police endorsement was usually a good indication of reliability and durability though.

I can't say I see a lot of Mondeos/Insignias being used by the Police now though, although I'm guessing the Panda cars are still mainly Corsas/Astras/Fiestas/Focuses?
So what is the Police car of choice these days? Volvo V70? 5-Series? I have even seen Skoda and Kia Police cars. Never anything French though!
This IMHO, was probably the coolest car that the British Police ever used

On a not really that related note, what do junior cabinet ministers use these days since the demise of these? (if they're not important enough to have a Jag)
