There have always been complaints about the boot size of a "full sized" US sedan like the Crown Vic. Long and wide, yes, but not very deep...certainly not like we are used to here in Oz with the Commodore and Falcon.
What's wrong with a Checker Cab? ![]() |

Mixed feelings about the replacement. Why didn't they find something American? The yellow Crown Vics are part of New York's landscape, I think it would be odd seeing it covered in Japanese vans. To me it kind of detracts from that great American image that NY has.

Ford did give it a big go with the Transit Connect Electric Vehicle,
this one is powered by natural gs but the EV looks similar...... ![]() |
