Dynamically, I don't think this will hold up against the Charger and Caprice since it is heavier with more nose weight. As for fuel economy, I bet that the TTV6 will feel the added weight a lot more than a V8 would. And it will be about 10 grand more than a similar Caprice or Charger although that represents a lot less of the overall price because of all the added equipment. Ford needs something to replace the Crown Vic, but they won't have nearly the volume with this that they are used to.
