  5. Meet the new Ford cop car.

    I posted this a day ago,I guess Stan killed it by fixing the forum

    Ford Motor Co. is getting ready to retire the full-sized Crown Victoria sedan and, with it, the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor that is the most widely used police car in America.

    Ford isn't about to give up on that market and all the sales -- and the prestige -- that it brings. So it has unveiled an all-new Police Interceptor to replace the venerable Crown Vic in 2011. The new Police Interceptor, a variation of the full-sized Taurus sedan, will be a front- or all-wheel drive car powered by a choice of two V6 engines.

    Ford promises its police customers won't want for power or performance, though, but they will save money on gas compared to the big rear-wheel-drive Crown Vic.Competition's already heating up. General Motors is getting ready roll out the Chevrolet Caprice PPV, a police-only model imported from Australia, and a start-up company, Carbon Motors, is preparing its own diesel-powered police-specific model.

    Despite having a 3.5-liter V6 compared to the 6.0-liter V8 that will be in GM's upcoming police car, the Ford Police Interceptor is available with slightly more horsepower.

    Police departments that opt for Ford's twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine will get 365 horsepower compared to 355 in the Chevy Caprice PPV. And Ford promises 25% better fuel economy compared to today's Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.

    The new Ford will also have a heavy-duty six-speed transmission and, when equipped with the EcoBoost engine, full-time all-wheel-drive as well as bigger heavy-duty brakes.

    The Crown Victoria came under criticism years ago after crashes in which some police cars burst into flames following rear-end collisions. That's a particular danger for police cars which are commonly stopped right alongside high-speed highways.

    Ford responded by beefing up the Crown Vic's rear crash protection and adding a fire suppression system. Today, Ford boasts that the Crown Vic is the only police car to pass 75 mile per hour rear-end crash testing.

    The new Police Interceptor is, likewise, engineered to protect against high-speed rear hits. It's designed to protect against more than just crashes, though. The front seatbacks have anti-stab inserts to protect against attacks from back-seat occupants

    The new Police Interceptor will have a version of Ford's Sync computer interface. It will be similar to the voice-controlled system you can get on most Ford cars except that, in this car, officers will be able to use voice commands to do things like turn on the lights and sirens.

    The car will also have a back-up camera and Ford's "Cross Traffic Alert" system which relies on radar to warn of cars approaching from either side when backing out of a parking space.

    Ford will also produce an SUV version of the Police Interceptor, possibly based on the next-generation Ford Explorer, a concept version of which is shown here. The new Explorer will share the Taurus's basic engineering and both police vehicles will produced in Chicago in 2011.

    Lol but Communism/socialism are the biggest fails ever; it doesn't work in practice. That's why this is like the only rich place in China lol. All of the other money is hoarded by the government and a select few.

    China has lots of rich places but this is like the only one in the countryside in China. Most chinese cities are really rich,and no,this is socialism working with capitalism.China is a mixed economy.

  20. Police Officer killed in norway

    So, i just got this sad news from my local newspaper... Yesterday, there was a big car chase and the police officer (a 48 year old man) was run down by the suspect while he was trying to lay out a spikestrip. He was flown to oslo for treatment, but died later this night. The suspect was a 27 year old male from my town and was charged with manslaughter and this might be extended to murder.

    He leaves his wife and 3 kids.

    Charged for manslaughter,you call that manslaughter,I call this a 2nd degree murder,he purposely ran over him.

    74 stories? Wow thats going to suck to come and leave. Wonder how long the elevator will take to go from top to bottom, and the parking..how the hell are they going to accommodate enough parking for this monster?

    I'm sure most of the people in Huaxi already have villas,but i do find it true,how will they park like 6000 or 10000 cars in that thing with a car per adult in the city.All people have villas in this village,3 bedrooms,3 bathrooms,3 living rooms,2 car garages,and 6 tvs. Nobody is poor in this village,all the people get this so this is what I call paradise but if you leave the village,you lose everything,your house,your car,your free health care and your money. You need the leader's signature of the village if you want to get money out of it when you leave the village.
