In downtown Detroit for the fireworks, and I saw something quite unexpected in these parts: an unmarked Hyundai police car (hard to tell but it had the flashing lights on). Amusingly, someone behind me who noticed me taking a picture said “look at that blacked out Lincoln police car”.

We’ve got a few sneaky ones here including a silver V6 Camaro, a MINI Cooper, Toyota Highlander with a stick figure family, a riced out Civic, and a few Silverados.

They are kinda evil now .. I’d never guess a Sonata Hybrid

WHY THE HELL WOULD THE DETROIT POLICE BUY A SONATA HYBRID?

Probably either an off duty officer or a contracted security guard.

I’ve seen a Jeep Grand Cherokee, Mazda 6 and a Camry all being used by off duty officers to work security detail at public events and movie theaters.

I think we have a second-gen Escape and an Outback here in Ottawa that I noticed during the Parliament Hill shooting.

I think a black Fusion Hybrid would be somewhat more fitting for detroit.

Don’t some detectives get lights installed in their private vehicles? It could be one of those.

I’m wondering if they just picked it up at an auction like it sits, and right before the decal guy started prepping the car for a traditional police livery, they were like, “no, stop! it’s perfect the way it is! no one will see us coming!”

One of the federal agencies with a branch in the area (not sure which) has an unmarked beige Camry. Saw it charging down the street one day with blues and twos.
