Re: RIP: No more Crown Victoria Police Cruisers
All the money that went into R&D was made up years and years ago in these cars. It's practically easy money for Ford to build these cars, especially with the fleet market still loving them. Ashamed they're ditching one of the few remaining body-on-frame RWD cars on the road. And the Hemi may have more power, but it's not hard to get a few more ponies out of the 4.6L Modulars if you want to. I have mine competing with Mustangs (who also have the 4.6L Modular).
And, most police equipment is built specifically to fit in the Crown Vic as are the garages at many departments. They are probably the cheapest vehicle to maintain in fleet operations.
