All The police officers I've asked say pretty much the same thing, namely that the Municipality bought Fords because there was no GM car available. They don't much like them, but have no choice in the matter. The RCMP have had bad experiences (so the individual cops say, anyway) with the Impala, citing lack of interior space, not as ruggedly built as the RWD, and higher maintenance and down time.
As for the union proposing this, while I'm all in favour of B Bodies being built again, I think that GM manangement would rather have the lead on this, and not the union. The facts are that management closed the assembly line for various reasons, and aren't going to retool for a B Body because the union suggests it. The B is done, and that's very sad. I am surprised that GM would just hand that market to Ford on a sliver platter, though, even if it was 10 years ago.
