Still can't believe how many domestic vehicles are fleet sales. Camry's fleet sales are at 7.7%.

Local and state police cruisers and taxi cabs. Especially since Chevy dropped the Caprice.

I figured, but retail sale is pretty pathetic. There's probably more prius sold in an hour than crown victorias in a year

Makes you wonder how long Ford will stick with the Crown Vic. I wonder if they make much profit on all the fleet etc. sales.

Don't hate on the Crown Vic, a Crown Vic with police package will make a joke out of most "sport sedans".

That includes rental fleets, business fleets, CVPI (Crown Victoria Police Interceptor) and etc.

Taxi fleets are usually old retired CVPI and other brands. Rarely new.

There are rental car agency's, so that some people can rent luxury cars instead of the regular Taurus or Malibu and such
