I’d have though VW would be the logical choice. They have all bases covered from bureaucratic city cars (EV) to vans, utes and Golf R would make a brutal highway patrol car.

The same thing could be said of Ford ten years ago. Too bad they’ve abandoned their passenger cars.

Either way. Anything has to be a step up from these pathetic things currently on Highway Patrol. If one clocked you at license losing speeds you just wouldn’t stop.
