Ugghhh I can not STAND this re-design of Austin's cars. Since they re-did their badges as well, no one will know who these cars belong to. The shield is small, and it doesn't say Austin on the sides. If you have to follow the new black & white cult of the personality there are better ways to do it. Supposedly they siezed the Hummer off a drug dealer, and it's going to be a recruiting/PR type of vehicle. I don't remember it saying "rescue" on the front during the press conference two weeks back when they introduced that "design"

I like the new black & whites. But I don't like the size of the graphics there way to small etcs.

APD did siezed the Hummer from a drug dealer.

But on a side note I'm on a misson to shoot has many of the older units has I can before they get replaced with the new units.

They would look alot better if the decals where alot bigger and say "Austin Police" and not just Police. Other then that I like the black & whites.
