They would only have a case if they were the same thing. Whilst I appreciate that some people think a police car is the same as a taxi they quite clearly aren't so no infringement really :wink:

The makers are reluctant to say too much about the exact origins of the 3.0-litre, 250 bhp, turbo diesel engine and 5-speed auto transmission



Fiat Scudo?

Power (bhp) 250
Torque (lb ft) 400
0-62mph (secs) 6.5
Top speed (mph) 150
Economy (mpg) 25

Fiat Scudo - Ford Crown Victoria

Looks like it could be a VW engine they use it in the A8

Going by the badge on the steering wheel it looks like a Renault one, i hope its not the engine from the velstatis
