I love Crown Victorias. I was a bit disappointed to see that they replaced the police cars with a different type of brand.

Same here. CV's are one of my favourite cars ever.

Americans dont build good cars.. they are mostly piles of heavy c**p

Really? The Toyotas they make are small and light.

How about the Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW, Mercedes, Bugatti, Cheetahs and Comets?

Those are some super American cars! sarcasm.gifsarcasm.gif

I hope they never put a CV in another GTA game and they commit genocide to any remaining CV in real life, a pathetic car, really.

I'm guessing you had unfortunate things done to you in a crown vic?

First and foremost Crown Vic's are NOT pieces of sh*t! And secondly A LOT of departments are still using Crown Vic's. Almost every town in my state have them, excluding my town we have all Chargers.

Well...if you're PC user you can always replace default model of Taxi with Crown Victoria if you like by downloading and installing a mod. Thats why i like playing GTA on PC. i have the power to di with my game whatever the f*ck i want to! i can turn any car into trash can if i like! in your face console users, who bash PC users for no reason! if you're console normal console user, who doesn't bash PC players and hate them without a reason, than just ignore what i said...or if you feel offended anyway go blame those console users, who bash PC users for no reason...

Yeah, some more Crown Vics would be nice, but I also want a Mercury Marauder cool.gif

Ima tell you what I do want to see: a civilian version of the Vapid cap/crusier. Just like SA, there should be civilian versions of the cop cars.

 

But it looks like the cop cars in Trailer 2 is their version of the new Chevy Caprice PPV.

 

http://www.gmfleet.com/government/police/2...chevy%20caprice

 

But my question is this: how long does LA usually keep a PPV in their fleet? It would be nice to see a few different types of police vehicles. Especially unmarked and highway patrol. Not for speeding tickets of course, but, whenever you are chased on the freeways, highway patrolmen (marked and unmarked) can join in the fray. County cops, city cops, state cops; It would be pretty cool.

What's important to me is that there are a variety of police cars; obviously that includes Crown Vics - they are non-negotiable.

I could be wrong but Crown Vics are starting to be considered old school.

 

 

Yes, they're old pieces of crap. orly.gif I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a police version of Charger R/T.

That must be why they are so popular among police/emergency services/taxi companies all over the US.

 

Those thousands and thousands and thousands of Crown Vics must really be old pieces of crap.

 

Cheers!

They are, that's why their being phased out, as police cars, taxis...probably one of the ugliest cars ever made, fkn hideous gas guzzling monster, performance lacking made with CHEAP CHEAP materials, btw, the POPO modify their CV because there sh*t, and taxis used them because they hade good rear leg room LOL the only positive point, but besides that they were CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP for a "luxury sedan", + why wouldn't the US government buy a car from a company subsidiez by it's own government LOL, fkn retard.

 

VC= Top 50 sh*ttiest cars ever made LOLZ

 

 

e.

well, when you reach maturity, you will look back and laught at your post, as I just did. If you knew anything about cars or even history, ford never fell for a bailout. Its actually fact, that fleet vehicles saved ford when things were getting bad for auto makers. Yes, the vic is a cheap, good car. People who drive honda civics make this claim all the time and see it as a positive. Also, they are not gas guzzlers. Infact, the full-sized ford cars were never to have qualified for the american cash for clunkers, since it was in the acceptable EPA requirements. Also, there are not many vehicles you can buy, that can get 800, 000 hard miles. But I see where your comming from, we need some real cop cars, from a real car company...like KIA! confused.gif

its a 4000lb+ sedan thats made for "soft and lazy ride" its not a sports car or even a sports sedan. you get it now?

 

its a simple car that gets you from point a to point b without tiring you out, and it does it very safely, if you want something that handles like a sports car or sports sedan then buy one simple as that.

 

So please tell again why should we have more of these crap boats in GTA V. orly.gif

because they are driven on the streets in real life, and some people like driving cars in video games similar to their real life counterparts

Oh I see, you just reached maturity, let's debate:

 

From Edmunds.com

 

http://www.edmunds.com/mercury/grand-marquis/

 

For the full-size sedan shopper who just wants a big, comfortable V8-equipped sedan and nothing more, a used Mercury Grand Marquis offers compelling value. Just keep in mind that it's affordable for a reason. Premium features like navigation, high-powered audio and Bluetooth are nowhere to be found, and competing large sedans are much more modern in their mechanical makeup and overall design.

 

and another:

 

On the road, the Mercury Grand Marquis delivered a soft, forgiving ride, but as expected, the handling was mushy. Ultimately, there was just no getting around this big sedan's decades-old design, substantial weight and large dimensions. Inside, the dated design and spotty materials quality were immediately apparent. The vehicle's chief strengths were its solid value for the money and the roomy, comfortable accommodations for five or six. A huge 21-cubic-foot trunk that could easily swallow a week's worth of luggage for a small family was another perk.

 

o and another:

 

Pros

Big comfy seats, simple controls, six-passenger capacity, huge trunk.

 

Cons

Ancient design, nautical ride and handling, anemic V8, poor fuel economy, stability control is not available, missing modern conveniences

Yes, I have reached maturity a long time ago, thats why I dont use edmunds.com as a source lol. If your gonna debate, you should list all info from your side, not make me have to hunt it down, via your link.

 

http://www.edmunds.com/kia/optima/2013/?su...style=200425946

 

Pros

Powerful and fuel-efficient engines; handsome cabin; copious features; top crash scores; impressive value; lengthy warranty.

 

Cons

Can be tight on headroom; disappointing real-world fuel economy and driving experience for hybrid; numb steering.

 

Whats this? Seems like your victory car does not get good REAL WORLD fuel economy? Again, thats why I dont like edmunds.

 

And as for creature comforts, they dont make the final say on what car is and isent sh*t. Its kinda, well, immature... if you think they do. I rather spend money on good aftermarket audio equipment, for half the money of factory stuff. Which of course is made by aftermarket guys anyway.

 

Another thing, just because a chasis is old, that dont make it no good. I dont know if you ever driven a car but, if I was looking for performance, wrong wheel drive would not be a selling feature. This thing called torque steer is an issue. Maybe thats why the police stopped using the impalla for a bit.

 

 

Well, enough of the small talk. Here is a REAL WORLD artical. Please, if you have time, is a good read.

 

http://bangordailynews.com/2011/08/14/news...victoria-fleet/

 

AUGUSTA, Maine — For two decades, the basic patrol vehicle of law enforcement agencies across the state has been the Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor, but the last one rolls off the assembly line next month, and agencies are scrambling to find a new vehicle. They have found all of the options are more expensive.

 

Crown Victorias “served us really well,” Penobscot County Sheriff Glenn Ross said. “We are watching to see what is coming out, but we will not be the first to buy. We are good for the short term.”

 

Ross, president of the Maine Sheriffs’ Association, said all of law enforcement is struggling to replace a vehicle big enough to handle all of the additional equipment needed in a police cruiser that can be maintained with reasonable costs. He said the typical cruiser will have communications equipment, both a radio and a data terminal and lots of other gear.

 

“We also, in a rural area like this county, carry a lot of equipment we might need, and that pretty much fills the trunk,” Ross said. “We all really look at what it costs to keep a vehicle on the road, fuel efficiency, what it needs for routine maintenance.”

 

That, he said, is where agencies are left guessing, because all of the potential replacement vehicles have no track record. Ford is offering its Ford Police Interceptor based on its Taurus model. Chevrolet is offering an Australian-made version of the Caprice, different from the one made in the United States. Chrysler is offering a version of the Dodge Charger. A startup company, Indiana-based Carbon Motors, is offering a diesel-powered police car that is drawing some interest.

 

Nationally, about 75,000 vehicles a year are purchased by law enforcement, and about two-thirds of them have been Crown Victorias. Agencies also buy specialized vehicles for undercover work, and four-wheel-drive pickups are used by many rural agencies.

 

“We have looked at what is out there and we are looking at the Dodge Charger,” said South Portland Police Chief Ed Googins, president of the Maine Chiefs of Police Association. “We like their construction, the full frame is safer, and it is the only one out there that is full-frame like the Crown Vic.”

 

He said it is also a rear-wheel-drive vehicle and that should mean better gas mileage and lower maintenance costs. He agrees with Ross that a “big unknown” is the cost to maintain the vehicles, a concern for police agencies facing flat or reduced budgets.

 

All are concerned about cost. A basic Crown Victoria has been selling for around $25,000. Police agencies are looking at vehicles in the $28,000-$30,000 range as replacement patrol cars.

 

“Cost is going to be a big consideration for a lot of departments,” Ross said.

 

Googins said departments may take the opportunity to explore other options. He said his agency has a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV that gets better mileage than its patrol cars because it has technology to reduce the number of cylinders in use while the motor is idling.

 

“We do a lot of idling,” he said. “It also provides us with a lot of room for equipment, and we are carrying a lot more equipment than we used to.”

 

Googins said a lot of police agencies are using vehicles longer than they used to. He said many are keeping vehicles in use for 125,000 miles and some longer. Ross said he plans to keep the three or four new vehicles his department will buy this year sitting on the lot until a patrol car has to be replaced.

 

“We have to make everything last longer,” he said.

 

Col. Robert Williams, chief of the Maine State Police, said his agency has all but finally settled on the new Ford Interceptor. He said troopers and staff have taken test drives of the top contenders and believe the Ford, in the all-wheel-drive model, is the best choice for state police.

 

“We decided a few years ago to buy the vehicle that best fits the need,” he said. “That’s why we have some SUVs in the fleet and some other specialty vehicles. But for a general patrol vehicle right now, unless something happens we are leaning to get the Ford vehicle, the all-wheel-drive model.”

 

Williams shares the concern of buying the first model of any vehicle, but he said state police replace about 50 cars a year and cannot push the existing cars beyond 125,000 miles while the cars develop a track record to review.

 

“The problem with running your vehicles that long isn’t that the engines and drive trains won’t go that long, it’s that the steering becomes loose,” he said. “When you drive at high speeds and you go into a curve, a hundredth of an inch on a steering wheel can be 3 or 4 feet.”

 

While no one keeps numbers, law enforcement agencies of all types in Maine are expected to buy several hundred vehicles this year.

 

Remember, no car will ever be the best in the world but, the vic comes damn close. Also, you talked against ford, so this artical talks about ford too. Also, its CV not VC.

 

Anyway, with all due respect, tell me... what do you think would be the best all round police vehicle?

I didn't want to put in all the features, because regardless, the Kia whoops your fat ass. So you tell me which is a better car and which one is a BETTER looking car wow.gif LOL VC sucks, Grand Marquis sucks, any model related to these cars fkn sucks, LOL YOU SUCK HAHAHAHA

the grand marquis/town car/crown vic comes with most of the features you just mentioned for the kia, a better comparison would be a Mercury Marauder.

Your maturity is really showing you cant even be objective with the information you just posted.

OffT: lol, someone is lauding a Kia over a Ford. BTW, without Ford, Kia would be nothing.

 

OnT: Yes, more CV's. Even more so a blacked out "Stealth Version" with twin turbos...

well, when you reach maturity, you will look back and laught at your post, as I just did. If you knew anything about cars or even history, ford never fell for a bailout. Its actually fact, that fleet vehicles saved ford when things were getting bad for auto makers. Yes, the vic is a cheap, good car. People who drive honda civics make this claim all the time and see it as a positive. Also, they are not gas guzzlers. Infact, the full-sized ford cars were never to have qualified for the american cash for clunkers, since it was in the acceptable EPA requirements. Also, there are not many vehicles you can buy, that can get 800, 000 hard miles. But I see where your comming from, we need some real cop cars, from a real car company...like KIA!  confused.gif

Lol there is nothing origunal about kia. Every single one of their cars is a vehicle gained through platform sharing. Maybe except the soul but that's debatable.

 

Anyway I am a Certified Ford Technician and yes the Crown Vics are proper police cars. But we've gotten a few new police interceptors and they are mean. They are the 2013 Taurus with ecoboost (practically twin turbo). All wheel drive monster.

 

 

Edit...also a Grand Marquis is the luxury version, or old people version of the crowb vic. Also you have to consider that even the base crown vic isnt the one the police use. Its called a police interceptor for a reason and a Kia will never have the history, brawn, or respect of the crown vic. Point blank.

American cars are pathetic. Even the new ones look old.

Well I wouldn't go that far, FORD has really been making some great cars, but it took a financial crisis to overhaul it's products LOL, if there was no financial meltdown, we would still be seeing those ugly ass Taurus's on the road, the point is though, VC sucks caca.
