Not really, nyc has been bitching that their cop impalas are crap. The taxi commission buys taxis in bulk by contract, I think they only bought for a year or two and switched to something else

Still see alot of them out here in nassau, but the countys so screwed up right now they prolly cant afford newer cars, I dont think they even have the chargers yet.

NYPD has a bunch of different cars now, I think they even have soem toyotas

Cops usually prefer RWD cars, so when someone stuck them with a FWD fleet contract they probably got pissed.

When I was car shopping I test drove a CTS, STS, Impala SS, Grand Prix GTP and a Buick. I ended up buying the 08 Caddy STS, but the Impala was hella fast for a big car.

You and I have different taste in cars but i can definitely see an Impala SS as an entertaining car.

Which impalas are we talking abt? The newer front drive ones are blah. The older mid 90's rear wheel drive are sweet.
