I agree with you there. As the prior owner of a crown vic and a current Grand Marquis owner, I can attest personally to the safety of those cars. Along with the Town Car, they were the FIRST VEHICLES EVER to recieve a five star safety rating in all 5 categories (driver frontal impact, passenger frontal impact, front-seat side impact, rear-seat side impact, and rollover resistance rating). The crown vic is dead now thanks to a crash and the only damage I had came FROM the airbag (to my hand).
