I also get the same reactions in an unmarked Crown Vic. People aren't that observant. It's not really used for undercover ops. It's used for the other half of the times you want the capabilities of the pursuit rated vehicle w/more comfort & to be less noticed. It's a smart move on Chevy's part as they can double the vehicles they sell without having to market it to any additional people. Also, if you can get the administrators in them, they'll be more likely to buy them for the patrol guys. Plus, the Federal government isn't gonna buy marked squads for the Federal agencies, so this also gives them another market. It'd be nice if the sold them civilian, but I'm guessing this has more to do w/testing the waters. Also, I think the new CAFE mpg rules give exemptions for government law enforcement fleet vehicles. Also doesn't help that the market for full size RWD vehs has been disappearing.
