2006 Ford Crown Victoria Sedan

With a name more fitting a role by Dame Judi Dench than a full-size family sedan, the Crown Victoria nevertheless deserves respect. It is, after all, the number-one choice of law enforcement agencies and a car whose grille and headlight pattern strike fear into the hearts of driving enthusiasts nationwide. The Crown Victoria shares its engine, platform and interior with its Mercury cousin, the Grand Marquis. The Crown Victoria can seat six passengers, swallow golf clubs and luggage and do it all for a price that easily fits into the average family budget. The Crown Vic (as it's lovingly referred to on the street) can have a more sinister side as well. Painted Jet Black and outfitted with the LX Sport trim package, which includes more power from the 4.6-liter V8, the Crown Vic has the look of a serious car for serious drivers.
