New York City will have a Nissan taxi cab in 2013? So used to seeing the Crown Vic taxis in newscasts from New York. With ground zero and all the patriotism that New York City invokes, how do you replace the Ford Crown Vic with an import as the offical taxi of New York CIty?

I think ford made a big mistake by ending the cv production before they had a new car to take its place. What were they thinking???

As an owner of a 2006 Crown victoria, I can say I love my car. Let’s face it though, a complete shell redesign (the side impact performance is a joke) would be necessary to keep this platform alive.

I owned a 1999 Ford Crown Vic and purchased it new. It had over 135,000 miles (almost trouble free) on the odometer when I traded it in for a 2008 Lincoln MKZ. If hope the Lincoln is as good as the Crown Vic. So far so good.

Someone at Ford better realize that Law Enforcement carries alot of different equipment in order to do their jobs from highway and city/town patrol. Sniper and Suba Teams.Drug UnderCover Teams and many other teams and uses including many units and Depts of the Federal Government.DEA-FBI-CIA-HOMELAND SECURITY.Some jerk at Ford Motor Company wants to Downsize one of their best selling cars.WOW !!! GM AND CHRYSLER are Smiling I can see the Dodge Chargers and Chevy Caprises and Impala Full size will make a comeback.GO Chrysler.

It doesn't matter how fast your car drives, it's if you can handle it. I'll be behind you and watch your Camaro lose it on in the curb as I hit every apex and then clean you and your car up:)

You make a few good points, but the CV has been the same size continuously. Only changes occurred when they switched from box bodies to aero bodies, and then to whale (current bodies) in '98.

Eh, kajdb, other people can get & drive Ford Crown Vics. It's not that they can't get them, it's that they don't want to drive a large sedan that they associate w/ Gov't. or grandpa & that gets worse gas mileage. So, in light of your apparent cluelessness, I tend to think that Jake is not the moron here.

It's a great idea until you need maintanence or your Carbon Cruiser gets T-boned and you need parts. Where do you go? do they HAVE parts on hand,infrastructure dealer networks,techs who know how to fix them?…

I agree,FWD sux for patrol. I talked with a guy from a departmnt that used them and they all hated them and wanted the CV's back.
