 I recently bought a 2000 Crown Vic and I am in love with the car.  Smoothest ride around, powerful V8, and comfort and quality to boot.  This was an obvious upgrade from my beat-up 88 Buick Century and i don't regret it one bit.  Complain about style all you want, I'm 20 and I think this is a sharp car for being a "geriatric" car.  It is far from it.
