Ford Lincoln Mercury

Why aren't Lincoln Town Cars, Mercury Grand Marquis', and Ford Crown Victorias driven around by a lot of ppl?

Like shitty ricers? They're cheap, more reliable than ricers, very stylish, much much much more roomy, and much cheaper to repair. The only disadvantage is gas which isn't that much more. I think they're far more practical than rice rockets.

I response to the last posting, I do drive a small car, and have had my share of Japanese cars.

However, the large Ford platform is a superior vehicle.

Let's start with the most important feature of any car:

Safety.

The crown vic was never chosen by police forces for performance or fuel economy. It was chosen for durability, safety and room. It is a mobile office that can bring you home in one piece. You simply cannot buy a more solid and safe car.

Let's move on to performance.

The crown vic may not be the fastest car off the line or have the best g-force rating in corners.

But in a high speed chase, it is stable, reliable, and gobbles up miles. It performs well at high speeds, and the rear wheel drive is superior for anyone who knows how to drive.

Finally, I already mentioned durability, but it also deserves its own section.

A Crown Vic will run longer than most imports and cost less to fix.

All the Toyotas I have had had engine jobs by 150, 000. The landcruiser was the worst...the supposedly solid diesel had a head go at 65,000 miles. Rust has always been an issue with the recycled steel used in these things as well.

The crown vics will go 300,000 without a problem. Yes, they use more fuel, but it is life insurance (full frame construction) and you save on repairs.

The other nice thing about the crowns is that there is a trunk instead of the usual glovebox, room for 6 when you need it, and road respect from other drivers. If you like to cruise in comfort and style, there is really no better car.

And that from someone who is driving a tiny box.
