I've seen several PDs with SUVs. I've been puzzled by that one for some time. Do they plan on chasing a lot of people off road? If not, I'd think that sloppy and tipsy handling, weak acceleration and low top speed and poor fuel economy would make SUVs undesirable law enforcement patrol vehicles.

Of course, those things also make them undesirable for daily transportation in general, but everyone is buying them. Shows what I know, lol.
