Observers say WRX is hottest contender as police check
out new patrol cars
the next time u see a WRX roaring down the Central Expressway at
breakneck speed, it may not be another illegal street race that u
are witnessing.In fact ,there could be a policeman behind the
wheel
The Traffic police called for a public tender to replace some of
their highway patrol cars in January and are colse to deciding
which car they prefer.
The police did not want to comment, beyong saying they were
changing a few expressway patrol cars due for replacement.
The Strait Times understands the tender-for four cars to be
delivered and an option for eight more -drew bids from volvo,Skoda
and BMW.Subaru with its rally winning WRX, was the only japanese
contender.
Observers reckon the WRX has the fighting chance coz it bid is
belived to be the lowest at ard $52k each .The passenger car
version ,including taxes,duties and COE is retailing for below
$100k
