That's by far the ugliest police car I have ever seen. It makes a TL look good.

Good for them. I don't care how ugly it is; if it keeps cops safe and the idiots in the back, and runs well and long, then it's a winner. It's a purpose-built car that looks like it will fulfill the needs of any police department. And it's a start-up auto company? How did the big three not try to crush this company into early obsolescence? Do they own a big piece?
