Ford Crown Victoria may be the most traditional domestic automobile available today. Or, depending on how you look at it, it could be one of most unconventional, given how far the market has migrated from the original recipe. In the Crown Victoria, you have the classic ingredients of the American automobile: size, V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and four doors, all packaged in the once-ubiquitous three-box sedan configuration. There's room for six, a huge trunk, safety features aplenty, a well-cushioned ride and a silence-is-golden acoustic experience.Yet, technical upgrades such as rack-and-pinion steering, a revamped suspension, and a stiffer chassis give the Crown Vic a driving experience that is far from lackluster. Its character is fluid and relaxed, its performance surprisingly competent. That's why Crown Victoria remains a popular choice.
