One of these:
The police love their cousin, the Crown Victoria. TONS of room, as comfortable as your couch down the road (you can drive for 8 hours and feel perfectly fresh), huge trunk, good power, and I get 27-28 MPG at 85 MPH between LA and LV, with four large (6 feet, 250+ pound) guys in it.
The best part is that you can get white rentals. People tend to move out of your way when you're in one, because from 200 yards away you look EXACTLY like a policeman.

Actually, the police hate them here - they MUCH prefer the Dodge Charger and departments here are converting to them wholesale.
Whether justified or not, the Panther cars (Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town Car) have a reputation for bursting into flame when hit from the rear, are overpriced for what little you get, and are grossly underpowered in police trim.

A true gem. Full frame, solid suspension and predictable in quick maneuvers.
