the article says that the ford crown victoria is used in 80% of the country's law inforcement. what the article fails to tell you is that that is because chevrolet ceased production on the caprice. when the caprice was still in production its what i saw cops driving ALL over the place.
the crown vic is pretty much the only domestic RWD large sedan in production, so its pretty much the only choice.
camaros work for the FHP because highway control people are generally not arresting people and transporting them in the back, so the extra pair of doors & back seat arent as important.
i got stopped in upstate NY about 5 years ago and the NY highway patrol was using camaros then too (this was before the Z28 was LS1 powered)
