Yes they could be manufactured RHD and that would negate the above issue but still the extreme fuel use etc
speaking of fragile cops cars, a mate in the force tells me the BMW's are made of glass and there is a little internal fight to drive the last of the commodores and 300's, maybe its a v8 thing but heard they break alot and the trim wears alot, more than a commodore or falcon anyway

time for reliable fit for purpose aussie cop cars again.
revive the old VF and fill it full of Camaro gear, i would probably not say FG-x as its a bit long in the tooth to be bought back in reality
