I noticed it...
Ok, the 2000 Impala 9C1 was supposed a more economical car to drive instead of the V8 P71 Crown Vics.
Wanting to decrease costs, town I lived in back in Iowa switched their entire fleet (save a couple for chases I guess) to the gray Imapalas.
Apparantly with nothing but problems (brakes mostly), they switched the entire fleet the next year back to P71 Crown Vics due to reliablilty issues with the FWD Impalas.
Now this could have been caused by lax maintenance by whoever repairs their cars, since the Air Force has used (and still continues to use) 9C1 Impalas for the Security Forces cars...
I have also seen the Intrepid police cars, they used them back in Iowa for the county Sheriff rides.
Here the Polizei uses some FWD cars. Most I see are Mercedes and BMW wagons with a few mk3 Mondeo sedans. I saw an old Ford Sierra still used over near Stuttgart!
