What Cars Do Japanese Police Have In Their Arsenal?

[shiro240]

I was just reading an article in the newspaper today about how my local sheriff's office are now using modified Dodge Chargers for "reckless or agressive" driving.

So that got me thinking...

What are Tokyo, Osaka, or Nagoya police using these days for the same purpose? I recall seeing pictures of R34 GTRs, GTOs, and FD3S RX7s painted up in police colors awhile back. Anyone know?

there's a thread about japanese police cars that we all posted pics in a while ago... might come up if you search (make sure you search for all threads instead of just 30 days coz it was a while ago).

There's also a couple of pics on the interweb of a JGTC looking R34 in police decals... it also has a fake machine gun mounted on it... if you come across it, its not real, was a promo car for a japanese police car driving game.

The meanest Police car I ever saw 'in the metal' was a Crown Athlete in the Panda color scheme with the bug deflector and roof mounted strobes.... boring.

The gayest police car I saw in the metal was a Toyota Vitz (Yarus) with the panda colors and the roof mounted lights. With two fully uniformed and gun toting cops in it it was a something to behold

Can anyone read that kanji on the side? Does that say "fujiwara tofu"??

Funky- I'll be sure and check the older posts--do you remember the title?

ive seen quite a few impreza's being used by undercover cops.kinda easy to spot though cause they remove the factory wing

The cop cars around where I live are mostly really scary Toyota Crowns or keis, although apparently there is a turbo Aristo that does the highways and I've been pulled over by a turb B4 Legacy.

[Beer Baron]

I like the BNR32 cop car. all class.

justin, can you tell me again what the little shields are for on the bonnet? are they bug deflectors or something? I've had it explained before but cant remember.

Hahaha look what I found:

Wait...Ayu Hamasaki is not an adolescent boy!!!

PS- Did you know that when you buy one of those Le Seydes, it comes with a free bag of candy and a pair of oversized aviator sunglasses? True story.

I want a La Seyde based on an S15 chassis. extended wheelbase FTW. altho I'd be so tempted to stand on the side sill ghostrider style with a tommy gun on one arm and a cigar hanging out the side of my mouth.
