(most of)Those rear-end fires you mentioned were from people rear-ending the patrol cars while the officer was parked on the side of the highway. Also, more rear-end collisions occurred that did not result in fires than those that did. It's more of an issue of vehicle use rather than vehicle design.

No, it isn't

It certainly is...

Also, I am less likely to be hit, from any angle, in the P71. Most people respect a Crown Vic more than any other car on the road. They slow down and drive right. All-in-all, it's a great car and I'd recommend a Crown Vic to anyone wanting a good car.
