That's a sharp cruiser, is it a Taurus ????

Well, yes and no, "This generation of the Taurus forms the basis for the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan", they are built on Fords D3 platform , and its the same thing as the Crown Vic, the P71 versions were called ," Police Interceptors" not Crown Vic's , its the same thing with the new Taurus and PI's,

Nope. It's a "Police Interceptor." New car, newish name.

The Taurus is dead and gone.

My last car was a then brand new '06 Chevrolet Impala. With all the equipment mounted, radio, siren/light controller, rifle rack and laptop computer I could not get to the climate controls. I always had a wrench in my bag I used to loosen the lap top mount and move it away from me. As a sergeant I always rode alone so that was never questioned. Then again, with my seniority, attitude and demeanor no one dared....................... :lol:

I had to ride two up with another sergeant a few times just before retiring and oh my goodness there was little room on the passenger side. Glad this old widebody cop retired when he did.

Charlie I'm waiting for them to use the '15 Mustang platform for a new Lincoln. I drove the Lincoln version of the Taurus, the MKS, and found it to be very cramped. The stupid console is so high and wide, it takes up all the space where my right knee usually rests.

It's a shame really.
