A guy of my acquaintance, fomer MOT and a relatively recent Police retiree, was telling me that the Holden police cars are nothing special, except especially cheap. NZ Police do not have "pursuit cars," what they have is similar to a budget model taxi.
If a sevice network is desireable it'll pretty much have to be Toyota or Ford as already pointed out. Whatever they buy, blaming the PM would be a stretch, she's not the minister of police.

There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
I am going off some insider knowledge here, but its hearsay so ya never know.
Time will tell, I'm just greatful they'll be ditching the thirsty Holdens, though the recent batch of fwd turbo jobbies they went to was apparently much more economical, faster but not as stable at high speed (according to the cop who was finger printing at my house)

Even Plod on the beat ... or even your fingerprinting mate ... are not privy to ... or have much in the way of "Final say" ... in the vehicle procurement process. I would say ... Public image of Police, end Price of each vehicle ... and practicality of the vehicles and suitability for their end use ... would be the base of vehicle purchase requirements. And probably assessed in that order too.
Currently ... marked Police vehicles on transporter trucks are a common (although not excessively so) sight on NZ roads ... even with Dealerships in most (if not all) large towns and/or cities. Not all such vehicles seen are noticeably bent or buckled. So other reasons for their movement must be there. Reasons that possibly outstrip the resources, abilities and equipment available at the local service center ... where (or near) the respective vehicle was based. Or ... just simply repositioning Police resources. Something that would be still required REGARDLESS of Manufacturer.
You might not have noticed ... but "High Speed" Police chases are fast going (if not already gone) out of fashion/Political correctness ... so that is no longer any real factor in the great scheme of things. Police view of the Public's Health & Safety requirements ... will let more ass-wipes go free. Free to try again.
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
With the ongoing Pandemic ... International NEW vehicle sales will have dropped considerably. Any large number item of vehicle purchase announced ... will attract some very interested manufacturers to line up with their products. Especially if the vehicles are already built ... and just awaiting the ability to sell them ... and a paying customer wanting to buy them.

Out of sight out of mind but record numbers here in the bay. The smart cops develop “radio trouble” when offenders start going too fast.
My neighbour has a scanner and it’s a VERY regular source of entertainment here.
Our police district doesn’t really talk to our poor excuse for a newspaper so heaps of stuff happens that doesn’t make the news.
Govt gives you nothing because it creates nothing - Javier Milei
They run out of oil quite frequently
Police don't pay if everything is under lease. It's not their problem. For the bikes at least, there is very often one at the dealership, and the cop swaps over, dropping one off and collecting another. Also good for when something unexpected happens to one.

I wonder if this is what the Federales are getting? Nice.
