Why few people buy the Ford Crown Victoria?

I don't know why Ford Crown Victoria is more used in fleets such as taxis and police cars and few people buy. I think this car is considered to be a luxury executive sedan car.Why few people buy the Ford Crown Victoria?
i love the crown vic, dont get me wrong, the TERRIBLE depreciation is good for me so i can buy lots of used ones cheap, not so good to a showroom buyer, and when there is a merc and lincoln option for only a few grand extra who would buy the ford except cops and cabbies?



they are nice cars though, and when you swap in a dohc4.6 and some of the other parts from a cobra you have quite the sleeper there.
Mainly the stigma of it either being a cop,taxi, or old people car.



Mainly it being a old people car unless it's dressed out as an undercover car....Why few people buy the Ford Crown Victoria?
The manufacturers all used to put out a model that could be a cab or beefed up for police and emergency duty--the Chevy Biscayne--the Dodge Polara--the Plymouth Fury-The Ford Fairlane--the Buick Special, the Olds 88. The market was open and the wild horsepower available made these cars choices to be had. The public loved the big cars too. Gas and economy issues are what downsized the vehicles--back in the 70s. The manufacturers were pressed to make fuel efficient cars--so big cars did not sell anymore. Not worth it to make a few thousand for police work or cabs--that's why so many cabs are USED police cars. The Chevy Caprice was a favored large car for emergency work--as was the Ford Crown Victoria. These two were locked in battle till the Ford won out and seems to be the car of choice. The Caprice is now a downsized 6 cylinder called Impala--what a joke!! The Crown Vic is still the full size car for cops and for the executive who likes the full size car in a dressed up cover....and yes, the cabs
cause ther cop car in america and people will think your an undercover copWhy few people buy the Ford Crown Victoria?
The Crown Vic doesn't stack up well against the competion. Motor Trend magazine said about the Crown Vic, in a road test: "A V-8 that thinks it's a V-6". Also: "Small back seat".
THE CROWN VIC WAS THE SINGLE BEST SELLING AND LASTING POLICE PACKAGE CAR AVAILABLE SINCE THE CAPRICE WAS STILL WORTH A CRAP.
Aging design and poor fuel economy make this car a tough sell to the general public. Plus the Mercury Grand Marquis is nearly identical. It gets most of the retail sales and there aren't enough customers left over for the Ford.
The Crown Vic isn't as nice as the Grand Marquis. Both are very simular cars but the Marquis is more luxurious while the Crown Vic is more basic hence it's cheaper for the fleets.

I would buy a Marquis or a Lincoln before a Crown Vic.

As for the first answer you got, I think vtec is duhhh.
cops and taxis do use crown vics duhhh
