Laminate aluminum and composites (or just composites) and you can get good armor protection...

"Aluminum spaceframe body structure."
 There's a reason the Crown Vic is so popular - it's the last American-made body on frame RWD car.

It will make it hard for the cops trying to hide running traffic (That is a good thing!) There is a cop in my small suburb town that drives a brown Ford Escape with no rollers on top and very few stickers and another one that has a red mustang patrol car. They like to sit right near the road in a church parking lot. They always have someone pulled over as nobody thinks a brown Ford Escape or a red Mustang is a cop car.

That car needs a different front end so it can perform the pit maneuver after it is finished running down the people trying to flee. I suppose that might make it less pretty.
