[QUOTE="T'Cal, post: 3712237, member: 42241"] As for similarities, the tail lights, trunk lid and trim, and body side moulding are the same as the CV and not the Grand Marquis. In many ways, it's as if they started with a CVPI P71 and replaced the engine, bumpers, grille, and tailpipes. I've driven every year CVPI since 1996 when my police department began replacing the Chevy Caprices with Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptors. At the time and until about 3 years ago, the Chevy Caprices were superior to the CVs in most every way. Ford has performed some major upgrades to the CVPI including more power from the 4.6L V8, better shifting transmissions ('tho not as good as the one in my Marauder), better seats, better suspensions, better breaking, etc. Still, the CVPI really needs the bigger 5.4L for more torque. I've read that the bigger engine won't fit under the hoods of the CVs/GMs, which makes no sense to me since Ford has reskinned or altered physically these two a few times and could've replaced the hood with a taller one.
