So Ford is replacing the classic Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with a Taurus-based model. That’s right, the Ford Taurus. I can’t even say it will blend in with civilian cars on the road since I can’t think of anybody in his right mind who would pay money for a Taurus. I owned a Taurus back in the 90s. What a POS. My sister-in-law owned one. What a POS. The Crown Vic hasn’t been updated in 15 years so I guess we’ll see how long these last. However, I will say that Ford has gone all out on the new package. With over 90% of the interior updated, the front seats feature anti-stab plates and the rear seats are vinyl to clean up after that obnoxious drunk perp vomits all over the back of your cruiser. Gone is the V-8, the new Interceptor will come with a turbo-charged V-6 that is 25% more fuel efficient than its predecessor. Having said that, the new turbo-charged engine boasts 115 more horsepower than the Crown Vic. The new 365-horsepower V6 is the same found in the stock Taurus SHO. So it’s newer, more fuel efficient, accelerates twice as fast as the Crown Vic, but still…it’s a Taurus.
