 Until the price gouging on Mercury 
Marauders subsides, the Crown Victoria 
LX Sport is a worthwhile alternative. 
 Although in a side-by-side test drive, 
I could really notice the Marauder's 
extra horsepower, better sound and 
larger tires, it wasn't $10,000 better 
than the LX Sport (including 
incentives). 
 Both the Marauder and the LX Sport are 
VASTLY superior to their progenitors 
(Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria, 
respectively). Both are much quicker 
and handle significantly better.
 The LX Sport is as close to a Police 
Interceptor as a the average civilian 
can buy.
