Dearborn -- Ford Motor Co. today unveiled its new Police Interceptor -- the replacement for the venerable Crown Victoria.

As The Detroit News first reported last year, it will be based on the same platform as the new Ford Taurus. Ford Americas President Mark Fields promised it would be superior in every way to its predecessor, calling it "the ultimate police vehicle."

"Police nationwide asked for a new kind of weapon in the battle for public safety, and Ford is answering the call with a purpose-built vehicle -- engineered and built in America -- that's as dynamic as it is durable," he said. "Ford remains committed to leading the police vehicle market, and our new Police Interceptor demonstrates how much engineering and innovation we're willing to invest to address the unique needs of those who protect and serve communities throughout America."

The new police car will be built at Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant.

Chevy has had trouble making a dent in this market for awhile now...

with that ugly bubble looking Impala. My sisters squad car is a 1 year old Ford Interceptor- that thing can move, and real good handling.
