Default IS policecar

The Norwegian policeforce are going to buy new cars. One of the cars they will be considering, is the new IS 250 They will deside in a couple of weeks.

You'd think they would use 350's instead of 250's.

As much as I love my IS, cops should drive around in the GS. Criminals would love the legroom and rear seat comfort...

hey now!
they don't sell it there as it doesn't make sense. once ur done getting the car in the eu its price, lack of any real brand recognition, and that its not a diesel will push people away. oh yea and no manual will push thema way.

I wonder what type of engine they'll drop in it... How ineffective would a cop in an IS250 be w/o a new engine if I brought my IS350 over... not advocating running from the cops, but they need a faster car then the person they're trying to catch

Cops should drive minvans. Yes, minivans. No, not fast minivans. Yes, slow minivans.

Criminals don't need more legroom or comfort...
