Too each his own, I guess....I drove the Caprices for about 11 years, and have had to endure the Crown Vics for about 11, and I liked the Chevys better by far, but that is me.

Keep in mind that when the car was being developed, that was not the case. I guess the designers aren't psychics.

Diesel may cost more, but what is the mileage difference?

my VW gets 35 around town, and that's because I don't putt along (in other words, my mom's vw diesel gets 40-ish in town)

Also, just rig the glow plugs like vw does and have them begin warming when the doors unlock instead of when you turn the ignition. and if you don't like the turbo lag, do what BMW does and put TWO turbos, a small one for low revs and a big fat ass one for higher revs

Diesel could be a good thing, but I'm not a cop, so I have no practical advice to offer
