Default Cadillac XLR-V Cop Car



Cop Caddy

Posted on 08.18.2007


How it came to be is unclear, but Bloomfield Hills, Michigan is actually using a Cadillac XLR-v as a police squad car.

Granted, Bloomfield Hills is considered a tony suburb of Detroit. But, still. Sticker on these is about $100,000. Granted, they’ve been slow sellers, but we didn’t think Cadillac had become this desperate.

The real story behind it is unknown.

It may just be a publicity stunt, like those Dare Corvettes that a handful of police departments have used. Or maybe it was forfeited in a drug bust. Whatever the story, one thing is clear:

Whichever officer is assigned this car is going to enjoy his or her work.

My aunt lives out their, that car is a real improvement over the FWD Chevy Impalas you see cops driving but it's also Cadillac country, never in my life have I seen so many CTS, STS and DTS, I could count the German and Japanese cars.

Why not, Texas state troopers use to have supercharged and bottle fed Z-28 LS-1 camaros. Now some of the city police have supercharged hemi chargers. “Why o why do I still like to run them”

What do the state troopers need that much speed for, and the HEMI has a supercharger available for it

Could possibly be a good use of drug money. Seized property??? At least the county won't have to buy a new cop car. Dealers buy it for them.
