Why has Ford stopped Mustang Fleet sales? I know there is a less profit margin than retail . . . .. . but what about demand for fast, and fuel efficient, squad cars? Are police agencies requesting Mustang squad cars? How often are ChP officers using the back seat on their Crown Vics?

I thought that location looked a little familiar. I'm sure it's a popular spot for taking photos, but here's a photo of our Hertz rental V6 from a few years back

Don't hold your breath waiting for any new factory police package pony cars to be built. Some departments still want them (and some have went ahead and built their own) but for the most part the manufacturers and the agencies don't want the liability associated with them anymore. There is also more reliance these days on other strategies for catching people on the road-spike strips, PIT, automatic disable devices, no-pursuit policies, etc, etc.

Yep. That's the Big Creek Bridge area on the Big Sur coastline, all of which is a very popular photo area in general.
