So after reviewing the SR5 book, I noticed the Chrysler-Nissan Patrol-1 is absent. If I am running a game, what type of vehicles would you recommend I use for Lonestar patrols (or are considered canon)? What I'm considering:

1) Ford Americar. Slow, lightly armored, and cheap. Much worse than how the Patrol-1 is described.
2) Hyundai Shin-Hyung. Fast, maneuverable, lightly armored, relatively inexpensive. Similar in performance to the Patrol-1, although with lighter armor. The fluff description however makes me think more of a Honda Civic or a CRV than it does a cop car.
3) Eurocar Westwind 3000. Super fast, moderately armored, and very expensive. As it's comparable models are Porsches and Ferraris, this seems much more like a rich play-toy than it does something Lonestar would buy a fleet of.
4) Ares Roadmaster. Slow, Heavily armored. Basically a Brinks truck. Again, this may be appropriate for SWAT response, but it doesn't feel like a normal patrol vehicle.

What do you all think?
