Did they change the look of their units ("squads in WI) or is this just for events and such? I really like this look!

No there are some out on the roads as well as the SUV version. There are some with the white doors and some without. I've seen some in Dane County.

Personally I thought it was pretty ugly but that's just my opinion.

14 Taurii are marked like that...2 per Post. The rest and the Explorer's are blue with a (partial) white stripe.

Nice!

Would those two per post happen to be assigned for regular patrol or higher ranks?

 

[OpSec]

Brass don't have marked cars...rank and file are assigned them.

That is one of the new Taurus Police Interceptors, I've heard rumors that the Inspectors that have vics are going to be issued the speed rated suv's

Wisconsin State Patrol wins police vehicle design contest for its new cruisers

The exterior design for the Wisconsin State Patrol’s new 2013 Ford cruisers won this year’s International Police Vehicle Design Contest in the Federal and State Agencies Category sponsored by "Law and Order" magazine.

State Patrol currently has 14 new cruisers with the award-winning design as a pilot project. The design has a traditional or "retro" look in honor of the upcoming 75th anniversary of the founding of the State Patrol, which will occur in 2014. Moreover, ample reflective materials in the graphic elements, especially on the rear and sides of the cruisers, increase safety and visibility at night.
