I was saddened to hear that Ford had killed it off. What are taxi drivers and police departments in the US going to use now? Dodge Chargers? Oh noes...

#3, I should really stop saying things about American cars. I never seem to get accurate facts. Mind you, I was told that by wannabemustangjockey. He has some explaining to do...
But surely it must be better than some of the other possible candidates for a cop car. Come over to England and you'll see what I mean. Ford Focuses, Vauxhall Astras and at one point, Metros. Urgh!

Heh, my parents had one of those as a rental when they were up here visiting me.
I guess you might consider it to be fast if you're used to 150 hp four-bangers.

I can't say I was terribly impressed. It seemed to have more than adequate torque for daily driving purposes, but I think "fast" would be an enormous stretch.

Probably comes down to your definition of fast. My father has a C5, and I've got a little more horsepower than that. I don't think of a car as "quick" until it gets into the 10 lb/hp range. 225 bhp and 275 lb-ft in a 4000-lb car isn't terrible, but it's no thrill machine by that definition. :P
My parents commented that the Grand Marquis seemed pretty thirsty, too. It's apparently rated at 17/25, so I'll give it credit for being more economical than I'm used to. ;)

#13, As a card carrying member of normal folk with less than average bank, I disagree.

#14, I guess i'm just cheap, Im plenty happy with my truck's stock 17 lbs per horse stats.
2813 lbs, 160 horse, 230 ft lbs. its enough to get me going quick without any mods whatsoever, and pass people at will.

I've rode in the back of Crown Vics before (taxis wise guy :P) also used to ride to work (50 miles) in a 90s Caprice. Gotta love the expansive rear leather seats and 85 mph half-speedos of big barges.
BENCH SEATS FTW!

Closest thing to a Crown Vic I ever rode in was probably my dad's old 85 Gran Marquis, she stunk of cigar smoke and we called her "Big Red".

My parents had a '92 Crown Victoria LX for many years. I helped with an engine swap after the first one crapped out after 190k (the new 4.6 they got was a 1991 Lincoln engine...first year modular, ugh!). Rode with them in it on a trip to North Carolina, two to South Carolina, and a trip to Pennsylvania.
Gutless off the line, but decent midrange power. Rode smoothly. Seats sucked and the backseat was cramped. One problem after another, but most could be attributed to the car's high mileage. Engine was a nightmare to work on, which is a contributing factor for my hatred of 4.6/5.4s now.
