We write a lot about green cars, here at GreenCarReports.com. Surprise, right? Now our partner TrueCar has provided some data about which cars are greenest. That is, which cars are most often ordered in the color green. Consider this our automotive St. Patrick's Day preview. It's long been known that a green paint job is a special taste for car...

An officially sanctioned F1 documentary will omit Max Mosley's five-hooker Nazi sex orgy , focusing instead on racing between 1968 and 1982 when the sport was still exciting. It's being described as "a big action movie." More

Filed under: Concept Cars , Sedan , Work , Ford , Specialty Will the new Police Interceptor be a toughened Taurus SHO? - click above for high-res image gallery Just a quick note: The Detroit News is reporting that the next Ford Police Interceptor will be based on the same platform as the Taurus . For you platform geeks out there, that's the Ford D3 chassis that underpins everything from the the Lincoln MKS to the Volvo XC90 to the Ford Flex (though the Flex and the Lincoln MKT ride on a lengthened version called D4 ). Yesterday, we explained that a new Police Interceptor is showing up tomorrow (Friday, March 12) in Las Vegas and that it probably won't be riding on the Panther platform. Regardless, the concept will be unveiled at the Vegas Motor Speedway. There's still no official word from Ford on the matter, however. However, if the new Interceptor is in fact Taurus-based, that means no rear-wheel drive Falcon in the United States. Which is a definite bummer. Also, while there are all-wheel drive variants of the D3 platform - and we think it's safe to assume that if the new Police Interceptor is D3-based it will be AWD - it lacks frame rails. Has Ford figured out a way to make a unibody car tough enough for police work? We shall see. And if the new PI is a Taurus, will it be based on a modified 365-horsepower SHO ? We'd wager yes.
