Well, judging by the trailer they're sticking with copying the Crown Vics as the Ford(Vapid in GTA) cop car of choice rather than the new "Taurusceptor" that's replacing it now.FloppY_ wrote:

I don't see a reason to change the tradition unless they decide to go for those modern concepts recently introduced or the impala from GTA IV...
I'd just like a real civilian model with civilian colors and everything, not with all the taxi crap on it. As it is in GTA IV, the closest you can get is the Washington which is a copy of the Lincoln Town Car, which is the same platform as a Crown Vic but I'm a picky motherfucker
There was already a civilian version and taxi version of the Impala in the game too. And hopefully they stick with the same look for those in GTA V, it looked like a nice cross between the last three generations of Impala.
It's interesting because the Police Cruiser in the game really does feel a lot like my Crown Vic does in real life, they did a good job on it.

I always loved the Crown Vic. clones in GTA because they do J-turns and other "stunts" like champs_j5689_ wrote:

Crown Vics are a little cool imo, but I wouldn't like to own one in real-life though, especially not one that has been a Police or Taxi service vehicle...

Fortunately mine wasn't either of those, it's an LX model with all the features you could get on an 02:FloppY_ wrote:

I test drove a few ex-Police Interceptors when I was looking for a Crown Vic but unless you get a retired detective vehicle, they have no features and the suspension and seating upholstery are worn to hell and there's always a shitload of stuff in the back that doesn't work right or is missing from trying to convert the door locks to work from the inside and upgrading the seats from just being a large puke sponge to better leather or cloth ones that match the front seats and actually have seatbelts.
Paint the grill black, install aftermarket foglamps behind it, put on some black industrial wheels and put a bar on the front, instant nice driving from everyone around you_j5689_ wrote:

You need to install the spot lights and mount a laptop on the dash
black out the wheels tooFloppY_ wrote:

Any navigation units and big-screen head-units capable of video-playback must have a failsafe installed that disables the "cinema" features while the vehicle is driving or it's illegal and an instant MOT failure here....

Who says I need any of those to have fun with it?
I just move into the empty lane and speed up ~10 MPH and then watch everybody behind me get way smaller in the rearview as they all immediately start doing the speed limit while I'm doing around 10-15 over. It never gets old
Most people always mount it to a grounding switch or to the car itself though so the ground can either be flipped on and off or it's always grounded since any ground at all is all the need(same way parking brakes work). Plus many units have hidden menus where you can override the parking brake feature

That's the same over here, all the in-dash DVD systems require you to install a wire to your parking brake to make sure the parking brake is on when you try to use the DVD function.FloppY_ wrote:

be a lot cooler if you did
No way, I always get pissed when I see other people that have an LX model that they installed spotlights and other silly police crap onto. They never do a good job installing the shit either, there's always a mess of tape on it, or it's made out of cheap shitty metal/plastic, or it's mounted way too high up, not to mention Crown Vics actually don't even come pre-wired or pre-"holed" for the spotlight. On Police Interceptors, they are 3rd party installed after being bought from Ford, same with light bars, radio equipment and dividers.west-phoenix-az wrote:

A person would have to manually cut up the perfectly good A-column and install the light(harder than it sounds from what I've read), seal it all up, and then run wiring for it(or not even, just have a useless ugly spotlight sitting there). Unfortunately a lot of people do just that on the Crown Vic forums, they should've just gotten a damn Police Interceptor instead of modifying an LX which is a rarer car that was intended for a more classy kind of look. I would hate having that dumbass spotlight sticking out into my space(although there is plenty of space ) or out of my car. I would've just removed it if I'd actually bought a P71 that had it
The honeycomb grill I can still appreciate though, since it does look pretty badass and it allows more air to cool the engine and power it with and it's a bolt-on swap, same with putting a ram bar on I think, it uses longer bolts to the frame or something like that. My biggest qualms are with the stupid light as you can see, lol

There was a mod for GTA IV PC that converted the Police Cruiser (Crown Vic model) into a civilian car, except I can't seem to find it.
The Crown Vic is no longer being made, so I dunno if you'd see it in civvy form in GTAV. Not that older cars just suddenly disappear
I think the LAPD uses the Charger, Impala and Caprice as their main vehicles. Probably still use Crown Vics too but I'd assume they're phasing them out.

Yep, last Crown Vic(read Real American Car) ever to roll off the assembly line at the St. Thomas plant on 9/15/11, exported to fuckin Saudi Arabia:Poseidon wrote:

I think it still makes sense to have them in Civilian form in GTA V, especially since that means there would be more retired Police Interceptors floating around. And not so many departments are quick to phase out the Crown Vic, they're very easy to maintain for several reasons I won't bother to get into but there's more than a few of them for the Crown Vic to make up ~70% of the Police fleets in America and 60% of the taxi fleet in New York City. Some guy in NYC has a lot FULL of brand new taxi-spec Crown Victorias just so people won't have to switch to the new shitty Nissan thing any time soon if they don't want to. And pardon my Aspergian tangents, I just love this fucking car
Btw, here's an LAPD CVPI:
Tell me that's not the most policiest looking police car you've ever seen, lmao

It sounds like they were just polishing it up/adding small parts like mini-games and things from this article, so I don't think an April/May 2012 release would be completely surprising. But knowing Rockstar North, they want it completely refined by the time it's released. Holiday 2012 seems more likely.justice wrote:
