Good afternoon. I'm not sure if this belongs in the right thread, but here goes nothing. If Audi manufactured police cars or any law enforcement vehicles, what would they look like? How would they compete with the domestics? | ||

I've never been much of an Audi fan. Especially the older ones were very boring cars. A German car magazine was the same opinion, they called a 1979 Audi a "Beamtenkutsche" which means something like a carriage for government workers.
This is a Dutch police car, it's an Audi A6 C7 Avant 3.0 TDI quattro with 272 HP.

What Yogi said:
Maybe in some European countries you might see an Audi. Here in the US, or at least in my part of the world. You will never see an Audi, or any other import as a governmental usage vehicle.
One reason, is Audi has a terrible reputation for reliability and cost of repairs. Second Our purchasing contracts state that any product has to have at least 75% American produced and assembled content. We had Chrysler K cars for a short time in the 80s as police cars. That was rather funny honestly. Then followed by a few years of the Ford Fox body LTDs with a v-6. The Ford Crown Vics dominated Police usage for years, now we are seeing either SUVs or Dodge Chargers as the police cruisers of choice. | ||

I remember back in the 1980s the New Jersey state police had Volvos patrolling the New Jersey Turnpike for a while. There was a public outcry, and the Volvos disappeared soon after. | ||

Those are used as meter maids.
I also stated "in my part of the world". Mid-West, Buy American, and I work for the county. We are not allowed to purchase foreign sourced vehicles, or products for that matter if a USA built or sourced product is available. Plus, the SMART cars are not imported any longer. Our meter maids use golf carts here. | ||

The NYPD Smart Cars are replacing the little Cushman 3-wheeled vehicles which are now considered unsafe.

It sure would be nice to see foreign competitors who know automobiles to build law enforcement fleet vehicles. | ||
