Nothing wrong with the CV or Grand Marquis, they have been around for a long time. Shame to see them go.

The Police Fleet is going from the Crown Vic to the new Taurus SHO. At least that is what I have been told by vet officers.

Probably correct.Pit maneuvers with a FWD.Go figure. Yea they still made Mercury's.See Gran Marquis everyday.Nothing rare about them.Every Ford store carries them once the Crown Vic was removed from retail sales. Now you want a rare late model hot rod find a clean Mercury Marauder.

It's a good thing for us. They will find the Taurus too small for the big cops, They don't complain too much about the Charger as far as I have heard. I have a few friends that are cops. I see trailers full of various police cars coming from Brampton. I counted a hundred trailers in a 60 mile trip.
