Is this the australian equivalent to the Crown Vic?
and i dont mean the obvious police connection.
Eh, I guess... Strong, gas gussling engine (yes, talking about the NA I6) thats built to last but somewhat slow. Heavy car. Both are pretty quick when forced induction is applied. They both look like ordinary, boring cars, but still do their job well.
Does every plastic and rubber part break on the crown vics too?
I'd say the VE commonwhore is more synonomous with the crown vic's characteristics if we were talking about the police connection.

This. The XR6T goes pretty well though.
Speaking of the barra, hopefully MrCrummy doesn't come in and shit up the thread

That describes the American Crown Vic pretty well.

Eventually. It's a Ford after all.

No. The Commodore can actually corner and handle.
A Crown Victoria will get out performed by a literal minivan in the twisties.

No I get you in that the crown vic handles like a piece of shit. I just meant in a police image context. E.g. If I saw a VE commonwhore 1-10 years ago in any trim level other than luxury, I'd slow down (this is of course, provided it hasn't been chromied by a Caboolture/ Logan auto enthusiast). From what I hear in America, it used to be like that with the crown vic, too.
While yes, the BA/ BF/ FG coon was also used by police, it never gave me the same automatic mental image the way the commodore cars of the era did (especially the VE... that fucker was around for nearly a decade). I am from QLD though so I guess different states allocate cars differently.
I'd say the same of the VF as I did the VE, but a lot of cops are switching to Hyundais and what not now.
