Dracoblu SG

Woot .. beng car with TP decals ....

Wah liew ... now worst ... even more difficult to spot too ..

tailslide SG

dun luff so fast. sekali ur neighbour walk down with his partner in tp uniform Neutral

now i know NEVER to race a white rex when challenged. Mr. Green

Theatre Of Dreams SG

motor image so eager to make money outta this, i wonder if they’ll suffer negative repercussions in their consumer market… as a potential rex buyer, will you be disturbed by the fact that you’ll be driving the same model as the police? haha…

wcafe SG

Poor choice by motor image. Who would want to own a car thats the same model as the TP? Just to sell 12 cars they forgo future sales... Poor judgement man... Rolling Eyes

Personally think not gd for Subaru image lah... WRX.. police patrol car..
Also a wastage of tax payer money. Spore is sooooo small and our Police force is so well organised with gprs, radio communcations etc..
Doubt if any errant driver could outrun our well organised police without bumping into a road block..
But interesting the WRX would encourage our NS policeman to speed unnecessarily.. Afterall, "licence to speed" is given... WRX.. all hell may break loose.. Better avoid the highway man.....

I agree, wait till just one of the NS serviceman killed or injured in an accident, then the SPC will start deciding to scrap all the 12 WRXs...

oh great….subaru wrx as police car…sian liao…

off_service SG

That just reminds me… I just saw a Mit Spacewagon Police “car” today. When did they accquire it?

EkBoy SG

I doubt it is as patrol car. It is used by TP only. juz like the BMWs n Volvo now.
So u will only c in roads n expressways.. not in ur neighbourhood carpark

cornyfish2000 SG

A couple of years back.. together with the volvo MPV (V70 i think).

cornyfish2000 SG

Actually i dun see why the TP's selection of the WRX should be bad for the car's image.. Isn't it an endorsement for WRX from the cops? That even the cops have to get the WRX to meet their requirements for high performance cars.

It's not as though a cab company is deciding to use WRXes to boost its taxi fleet rite? Wink

Kr0n SG

NS policemen as TP? I don’t think that’s possible right? They might get the scooters and all but not the higher end chase vehicles?

cornyfish2000 SG

Why not? Even part-time volunteers (VSC) can be TPs..

Praetorian111 SG

It is actually like clearing of old stock... afterall, the new facelift is projected to be mkted in 2006-7. I differ in the way you think, I see it as a way of promoting the car as a reliable and great performer. Alot of people actually have the same model of cars as those of the TP back then when they decided to purchase from BMW and Volvo.

cornyfish2000 SG

Actually i dun mind... and if i were to buy a rex i'd paint it white. Then on the roads everyone'll give way on the R lane and slow down when they see me in their rear mirror.. hahaha.. Mr. Green

Bloop... SG

Stupid waste of tax-payer money.

They can drive a Kia Rio and invest in binoculars to view licence plates and achieve the same results. Evil or Very Mad

carlover88 SG

Think we are at that critial stage in our quest for the Best.. or No1 .

KS mentality...

Chinese saying goes, using a cow's knife to destroy some spider web..

We are already very stringent in road blocks... etc.. to get a modified car pass our high std police force is almost impossible. Er.. to invest in WRX, BMWs, Volvos for our police force is a bit of a ..... waste.

Wonder how many times do they actually use their powerful 225 bhp to gd use ? Or it is just buy for the sake of buying the best ? or it it Face issue ? Since SAF top commandents already have it ??

I have no answer.... Maybe next step, we will need some heli-patrol just like States where they monitor speedster on highway etc..

When will we ever end ? I have no answer.. If someone could shed some light..

Question Rolling Eyes

cornyfish2000 SG

Errr.. to chase after speeding motorists?? So as to nail them on the spot, check to see if they have a valid driving licence, do alcohol breath test etc. If we depend on a fully speed-camera system we'll never be able to do this rite? Drivers summoned will probably just use other people's driving licence to 'receive' the points. And we'd also be missing out on those drunk speedsters.

If a traffic policeman were to see a car speeding away, he can't possibly set up an impromptu roadblock in front of the car to stop him mah.. and how often do we have roadblocks anyway. So only way is to depend on cars with a fast pickup to chase after the speeding fella, stop him and see if he has red ants in his pants or something to justify for speeding.

For all that, we can't possibly depend on the good ol' Mazda 323 rite? Besides pathological speedsters usually have rather mean machines that'll probably leave any normal patrol car hopelessly far far behind.

hmmm.. btw i dun think top SAF commanders have WRXs.. not as official cars anyway..

Lance_han SG

hmmm...SAF commanders using WRX???
wahhh...double sian Rolling Eyes
hopefully don have...because i have a dream to be a boy racer....like fujiwara takumi....lolz Mr. Green Laughing but then again it will probably remain a dream
