Well, my DD is a Ford Crown Vic. Fourth one in almost 4 decades. They last me about 10 years and when I sell them, they are still running strong with about 140K miles on them. Bucket seats with console model ("Sport"... i.e., Marauder style)...The paint still shines like almost new, the carpet is great, and it turns on every time I turn the key. Why a Crown Vic over a Caddie or Suburban? Well, it comes down to seat comfort for me along with space. Just last year I have searched like a sleuth for cars with big comfy seats. Even the Suburban has these wide-ass consoles and narrower seats. The seats don't even reach my knees (tall). So, they cut me off mid thigh. For long drives, gotta have what is comfy. I don't know why manufacturers are making bigger consoles and smaller seats when Americans are growing bigger every year! Pisses me off to be honest. Have found Ford is reliable. But, it won't take away my desire to own the best looking car ever made (my opinion) ~~~~~ ZL1. Now, if you are one of those lanky, short folks, you sure are lucky to have so many choices!
