  Saw a Toyota Prado, common right? Except that it belongs to Police Special Operations Command, fitted with a black retractable ladder on the roof.

  The Prado wordings behind cannot be wrong, spanking new somemore. I find the paint work too waxy shine though, like private SUV.

  It's the same reason why the police escort of VIPs are always in big white volvos. Probably so that they can ram past anyone believed to be a threat to the VIP.

  That would be a Fiat X19, one of the most balanced mid-engined coupes and spiritiual predecessor to the MK1 Toyota MR2.
