"Everything we've done, we've done to meet or exceed the Crown Vic's specifications" said David Shuttleworth, Ford of Canada's Product Marketing Manager for Commercial Vehicles. He's quick to point out that the Interceptor is far more than a stock Taurus with a few bolt-ons – but has been purpose-built exclusively for law enforcement.

...

An optional 3.5L EcoBoost V6 produces 365 hp at 13.3/8.8 L/100km, while the utility vehicle's 304-hp, 3.7L V6 has a rating of 13.1/9.1 L/100km city/highway.


...

Best of all was the occasional visit from on-duty officers. One cruiser rolled slowly by, cell phone held aloft recording our antics. Another big, strapping young uniformed officer pulled in to have a closer look.

"Did he want to have a go at them?" asked the Ford folks.

"Naah, just wanted to check them out," the officer said, jerking his head towards his bow-tie bedecked utility vehicle. "That thing's a piece of s**t."

we'll have to see after they get the hell driven out of them for 100k hard miles. I wouldn't look forward to doing that tranny job myself. I'd just wait for a retired Charger (5.7 Hemi!) or a Caprice (RWD Yah) if i'm lucky enough.
