Is that definitely a Victoria Police car? It would seem it's just a mock up as it doesn't have government plates.

Right, like that is faster, better or any more useful than a Falcon XT. Waste of bloody money just so a few coppas can appeal to people who like big shiney things.

Stupid waste of money, with little, if no, benefit to the community over a Police pack Falcon.

Police make money selling cars, they're actually on a lease i think, or they get them cheap and sell for more than they paid.
Whoever thinks its a waste of money really needs to consider that fact that the government would make more with expensive cars. |

It's most likely a loan vehicle.
Bankstown police have a Lotus. It's not normally used for highway duties, more as a display car when they go to schools and functions to talk to people.

I agree, most likely a loan car.
Last year Vic Police had a 300C that Chrysler loaned them and the year before that a HSV GTO coupe. I also seem to remember years ago they had a BMW Z3 for a bit as well. |

I think I read something about this Hummer a few months. IIRC, it's a display car for visiting schools, etc, like the Lotus mentioned above.

Here's the Lotus.
I have a pic of it in my friend's driveway, but thats on my phone, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it onto the computer.  It's now been returned to Lotus.

Nah theyre all 5cyl engines like the Volvo ones, had a few through work and they dont lag in power. Its the H3 though, so it's no-where near as big as you'd expect. To me they look about the same size as an older patrol.

Do they make bigger hummers than that? I know the Humvee is bigger. The American HMMWV is pretty big.
