Yeah, that's why law enforcement and almost every taxi in the country are Ford Crown Victoria (aka Mercury Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town Car). I took a limo taxi (extended length Town Car) from the airport and glanced over the shoulder of the driver and noted that he had 386K miles. We talked a little about it and he said that they were just retiring their oldest taxi, a Crown Vic, with 780K miles. Original engine and transmission. They love them.
For what you'd pay for a tank-safe '92 Grand Marquis, what Honda would be as reliable, SAFE, or as cheap to fix? Parts for those cars are dirt cheap. Parts for Hondas are, well, not.
