JENSDONT ◊ 2012-06-05 16:29	I think it was released in the end of 2011 in Europe.

blue_thunder ◊ 2012-11-06 14:10	A bit unusual for me to see a Kia as a police vehicle.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2012-11-06 14:11	It's product placement. I don't think the Met have any Kias, but they do use Hyundai i30s.
blue_thunder ◊ 2012-11-06 14:14	Now you've mentioned it, I've seen some i30s as police vehicles as well, in east europe.
m.pfaffeneder ◊ 2012-11-18 12:35	Why 3.0 CDI??? The only diesel engine for the Optima is a 1.7 CRDi. There isn´t even a 3.0 litre engine.
Sandie ◊ 2012-11-18 15:19	Trim is 3, someone must have got mixed up.

CarnivalRedEscort ◊ 2018-03-12 22:56	LB61 PBX and its identical “twin” LB61 PBO are still appearing as police cars in dramas and sitcoms on television in 2018. “Hold the Sunset”. “Hard Sun”. “Collateral “ to name 3. The orange stripes have been replaced by blue and yellow battenburging in recent productions. Still being used in 2019 with identical siblings LB61 PBU and LB61 PBV in Wild Bill, The Capture, and Bodyguard. A search online shows pictures of LB61 PBU alongside other vehicles that feature in this film but I’m not sure it actually appears. In 2022 I’m not sure but I think one of these police cars makes a very brief appearance in the opening scenes of Jurassic World Dominion. PBX and PBO feature in The Midwich Cuckoos. 2 Optimas also appear in The Suspect. A 5th one exists LB61 OZX, but it only appears on imcdb under “Silent Witness”. PBX and PBO must hold some sort of record for “vehicle with the longest film and television career “! -- Last edit: 2022-09-27 23:49:25

CarnivalRedEscort ◊ 2023-03-12 08:32	After 11 years of regularly appearing on screen as police cars, this fleet of Optimas has been SORNed in 2023
SM99 ◊ 2024-02-27 20:42	Well after 11 years the props are no longer used but i don't we have every apparence of it yet
