NYPD movin' on up: to Mercedez S-Class patrol cars?

I was walking home from work yesterday and spotted this ultra chic
Mercedes S-Class sedan fully decked out in New York Police Department
garb; check out the pics. I’ve seen the new Dodge Charger HEMI cop
cruisers, but this is a little over the top, especially considering the
MSRP on a new S-Class is over $100,000.

Pics taken with my MDA phonecam at East 3rd. st. and Avenue B. NYC

Nice one, 'clash.

In RoboCop, the cops drove Saabs. This is a step up. Still, I think the largest law-enforcement body in the US (NYPD is bigger than the FBI) could find something better to spend its money on.

In RoboCop the cops drove the (at the time ultra-futuristic) Ford Taurus. I remember being a kid and thinking they were so modern looking. Ha!

Maybe they drove Saab's in the sequels, I don't remember.   

 Wow there's an entire site dedicated to RoboCop trivia.... People have too much time on their hands.  Nevertheless, here is the RoboCop Taurus in all it's glory:
