Not sure that this has been posted, so FWIW heres some scoop on the Ford 500 that is planned for sale in 2004. Base engine is 3L Duratec. Looks like maybe a 5 Pas. crown vic replacement.

It's been posted, but the Crown Vic will be around as long as there are Police Departments!

-Andy on focalJet the say no to being a replacement.

They are cutting production of the Taurus in half because one of the two plants that produces them is going to produce the 500. If thats not close to a reaplacement, I don't know what is! They are doing a phase in phase out thing like they did with the Escort and Focus! It's only a matter of time!
