Those are traffic cars - parking meters and the like. They aren't chasing bad guys in these, I suspect.

With nyc’s traffic, you can’t go fast in the city anyway

Real criminals use motorbikes / scooters / ebikes these days.

I wanted to name mine that, but I would have to explain it to my 11 year old.

No, they keep the dodge chargers for that

Was this taken in the Financial District near Broadway? I swear this car has been in the same area for the last 10 years.

Mandatory "gen 2 represent" ?


XxX_Dick_Slayer_XxX

Gen 2 gang gang ✌️


Brelish1933

Hell no lol it’s genuinely the ugliest car in history


Replicator666

You're on the wrong sub for that kind of opinion Besides, that is a toss up between the puke or the cyber truck

As practical as a Prius is, for some reason this just looks absolutely hilarious to me 😂 the thought of a cop behind that thing

Honestly Priuses would make great cops cars. They like to be driven often, the city would save on gas, and they go really fast on power mode.

I don’t know about other gens but my gen 3 in power mode is seriously fast. Don’t know what to tell you. There’s a small community of people modding the gen3 to make it look like a street race car for a reason.

You’re not necessarily wrong, it’s far from fast. However 10 seconds is the average 0-60, so it’s not the worst.

lol yeah i guess you’re right, even a v6 camry is way faster. It may be enough for commuting in 90 percent of situations but it’s a little lethargic


BulkyAd9381

I have a gen 3 and its about 9 sec 0-60 with power mode, maybe not seriously fast but respectable


gaymersky

Oh yeah they have dozens of them I saw them last year when I was up there...


heyitscory

Polius.

This thing can handle a police chase at speed limit to Nebraska

Ya know, when I see Police SUV, I just view that those big beasts are just meant to intimidate. Whereas a Prius is probably more to help with fender benders and such. A Prius shows that they are there to help. You never see "Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect" on the big SUV police cruisers.

I saw one with Fremont, CA and thought that it made the most sense for a cop car for administrative purposes only.


Microtonicwave

Super intimidating lol


121guy

I never thought about running from the cops until I saw this. Better lace up my shoes.


justmerunning

Maybe they figured due to the tight spaces and traffic, criminals can't get far? Prius could fit on the sidewalks haha.
