I assume they are for people that have gear on?

that doesn't look very comfortable to ride for a long distance/ time nor does it look like it would hold u in the seat very well for hard turn maneuvers .. not to mention it doesn't look very intimidating..kinda like how the volvo's are in sweden or w/e lol

There is an option for sports seats for statetroopers/highway cruiser versions with the SHO ecoboost engine. The flat seats are easier for entry & exit, which is what most cops do 1000000x more often than high speed cornering pursuits.

Oooh looks fast, I'll take my chances and flee on foot. The cop will probably be a fat pig anyways.

If it's based on the Taurus, it would be way too small.

from here: http://jalopnik.com/5491850/2012-ford-police-interceptor-the-crown-vics-robocop-replacement?skyline=true&s=i
it's based on the ford taurus, and the standard engine is the 3.5-liter V6 Duratec that makes more than the standard Taurus V6 — over 263 HP. But it's the second powertrain that police officers'll be pining for — a twin turbo Ecoboost 3.5-liter V6 delivering 365 HP and 350 lb-ft of torque. AWD is optional.

will this be the main workhorse of police forces, replacing the Crown Vic? i can't imagine North American police forces not having RWD for this role. i know they have Chargers, Cameros, Mustangs to choose from but those don't form the backbone of a police force.
