I reckon the Chevy considering they have very similar models already.  http://www.chevrolet.com/ss-sports-sedan.html

Considering Ford are bringing in sweet fa mustangs in I doubt the cops will want them.

Whether the above Commodore or the previous wagon now used in the states, that will all finish the same time as our Commodores finish.

The yanks use a fair few Mustangs from hwy patrol to general duties, so seems a logical choice. Knowing govt departments, It'll be whichever manufacturer they can screw down the most.

I was of the belief that Holdens were rebadged as PONTIAC's.
I'm sure there's many photo's of Monaro's with the divided grille area adorned with a Pontiac badge.
Statesman with Chev. badge went to UAE for the Arabs as well. 
A bit of a lottery with GM at the moment.
Highway cars Have usually been 4 door models in Vic.

Considering that Queensland has a no pursuit policy, any vehicle will be acceptable.

They need to be 4 door so they can transport crims without having to wait around for a van that can.

The cars are usually turned over every 3 years so if they get the last batch the new cars aren't going to be needed until 2020.

I remember a few years ago, Volvo gave the ACT cops a souped up Volvo sports car.

They totalled it within a week.
Guess fanging around a sports car is too difficult for the intellectually challenged

They certainly have been rebadged as Pontiacs AND Chevs, but once we stop making them, like us, the yanks will source some of their cop cars from within.
Unlike us, the yanks have a  few big cars to choose from still, but surprisingly, they are downsizing as well, and big cars are getting scarce over there as well.  Not in pickups though !!

Ford US are apparently bringing back the Crown Victoria this year, after a 5 year break.

For those that don’t know. The Crown Victoria is a full size, 4 door, RWD, V8 (&6cyl) sedan. Pretty much built specifically for the police and taxi industry.

Well if they rebadged anything decent i was sure id be made aware...
Ever since the gemini witch was pommy rubbish to the astra holden got whatvthey deserved as far as im concernened.
Keep in mind this is coming from a guy in his late teens that paid 4 grand for an HQ and pulled the subframe out and replaced it with a ground up rebuilt hz statesman front end and disc brake rear.
I love old holdens but have no alegence based on brand alone

If we get the Chevy's, does that mean all the tossers will fit a  Holden badge to it.

No chevys to get....the yanks are a bit like us now, most of their chevys are imported. Their local car business is going down the gurglar as well. If they didn't like pickups,  which they sell a *hitload of, they'd be in all sorts of trouble.

The Cruze with a chevy badge just doesn't look right though ?
