I think they share the 2GR-FSE but the Avalon one is different in some manner.

It'll never happen. The most obvious reasons are that the Avalon costs too much, and it's FWD.

Yup. And cheap/simple to repair when something breaks, or when there is body damage.

Yep. They got a bunch of them in NYC. Philly's been using CV's and are in the process of switching to Hemi powered Chargers for the highways.

BUt I just can't see police forces using the Avalon. It costs more than the other models I believe.

Its a great looking concept(introduced last year). I have a few pictures of it somewhere. I have to look for them.
