Sherriff John Bunnell is probably responsible for giving these a joke reputation this (Eastern) side of the pond. His endless "speeds of OVER EIGHTY MILES AN HOUR" commentaries made us all giggle. That combined with the fact they do about 130 flat out and the standard UK motorway police traffic car was a Volvo T-5 or a T5R with a top speed of 150+ made us giggle more.
That said I was disappointed last time I went to the US to find out that ordering a "full size" car via Avis got me a FWD GM Porridgemobile and not the RWD Crown-Vic / Caprice land bardge I kind of fancied.
Its the difference between 8USD gallon vs 4USD gallon pump prices...
Glad to see the old queen honoured though. ;-)
