Further to above, Qld police hardly buy a Ford or Holden these days anyway. At Cairns station there's a mix of Camry hybrid, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai I load van, Aurion and the odd Commodore.

I can't remember the last time a Falcon came on the fleet. Nothing wrong with them but the problem with Fords and Holdens is that they are worth nothing at auction when they come off the road. It's exactly why GM and Ford are packing up their bat and ball and going home - no one wants the Falcon/Commodore product anymore. Once upon a time the auctioned cars fetched good money as either cabs or family cars. Now you can't give them away.

20 years ago the cop cars were either a Holden or a Ford. The use of different makes and models such as those above has proven that the there's no reason why that ever needed to be so.
