I've seen that before. Somebody else put that link on here somewhere a while ago. Are they actually manufacturing those cars?

sure doesn't look undercover does it? Ugly to some but beautiful to a cop behind the wheel
I saw this link before. I think they need to get a large order from a big State to make the prices come down for everybody else, maybe they can get some Obama money? I would think if they had green idea of using Bio fuel that would add some appeal o/w counties etc. o/w they'll continue buying fleets of Crown Vics, etc. One city in Calif was using Volvos for cop cars but I think that went flop and they got rid of them DDH

Agreed. Looks like another designed-by-someone-with-naught-but-a-ruler Dodge to me.
The engine does hold some interest though. And this just struck me wrong somehow: "Today, Carbon Motors Corporation, a new homeland security company, announced..." Not just any old security company, but a _homeland_ security company. FFS. Sorry, in a bad mood today!

They are special order and are"limited" to 175MPH As soon as the cars are decommissioned they sell them in public auctions. I remember seeing one with 120 000 miles and FULL service (but of course) went up for 3500 Pounds..... and this is a lot of money (around $5600.00) the car was just over 3 years old but once again.. people just love them. As I wrote above they are special order so it is much better than stock one from the dealer .

The Calif Highway Patrol tried (10) Volvo S-70's in 1999/2000.
CHP to Stick With Ford Pursuit Cars By CARL INGRAM, TIMES STAFF WRITER May 28, 2000 SACRAMENTO The test run by the California Highway Patrol to convert its fleet of black and white Ford pursuit to upscale Volvos has crashed. CHP Commissioner D.O. "Spike" Helmick said the chief problem is that Volvo next year will stop making its S70 police, the model the patrol has been road-testing since last summer. Volvo wants the CHP to buy station wagons instead. "We're not in the market for a station wagon. We're in the market for a sedan," Helmick said. But Volvo representative Richard Cook insisted that a CHP bias against the Volvo and other issues sank Volvo's prospects of displacing the Fords. The officers see the station wagon as a "soccer mom's car for hauling kids around," he said. "It doesn't give them that macho image." "You mention station wagon and they cringe. You mention sport utility vehicle and they get really excited," Cook said. In one of the biggest contracts of its kind, the CHP spends about $25 million annually buying vehicles. In recent years, the deal has gone to Ford, which owns Volvo and is one of the last manufacturers of police pursuit cars. A Ford Crown Victoria costs about $22,500, compared with $27,500 for the Volvo S70 sedan, which has cultivated an image as a sophisticated vehicle for affluent suburbanites. Last year, the state purchased 10 Volvo S70 sedans, painted them black and white with the CHP emblem and sent them out for a performance test. They patrolled in drastically different environments: searing deserts, congested cities, the snowy Sierra Nevada, the straightaways of the San Joaquin Valley. "The officers' reports have been positive," Helmick said. "The performance is good." The commissioner indicated he was surprised when told by Volvo executives some months ago that the S70 would be discontinued. The CHP has tested other manufacturers' station wagons, he said. "They were not well accepted by the officers," Helmick said. Volvo's Cook said the wagon performs identically to the S70 sedan, including reaching 146 mph. Both have front wheel drive, compared with rear-wheel drive on the Ford, and the wagon meets pursuit-vehicle standards, he said. Cook seemed almost relieved that the brief, troubled romance between Volvo and the CHP had ended. "How many more hoops do we have to jump through?" he asked.

I am sure that CHP wouldn't mind one of this

If I recall correctly, those cars will not see public use, as once they end their lives as police cruisers, they'll be recycled for some "green" purpose, which is to build more I think.
