50,000 Ford Crown Victorias delivered to Saudi Arabia
Ford's Crown Victoria Sedan has sold 50,000 units since it first appeared in the Kingdom in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The total includes 10,000 units of the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, stated a press release.
The 2003 Ford Crown Victoria replaces its previous re-circulating-ball steering gear with a new rack-and-pinion system that is not only more precise but also 10.2 kilos lighter. Road feel is improved as operating friction is substantially reduced.
The new steering has a variable-ratio gear as well as speed-sensitive power assist, offering improved maneuverability and straight-ahead control. The steering gear incorporates a variable-assist feature. At low speeds, boost is increased to reduce effort, particularly at parking-lot speeds. As speeds increase, power assist is reduced to enhance control. (menareport.com)

More like lawyers making money. Any and all fuel tanks/systems can be made to fail Even with mass market a million dollar fuel tank will have a point at which it is expected to fail. Naturally, lawyers say, "Ah-ha! You knew this Mr. Engineer, didn't you?" Bla,bla,bla, plus edgemkated high skool juerry equalls big bucks.

So, Ford is losing U.S. business for their CrownVics because police departments in the U.S. are no longer purchasing the vehicles and some cities [Dallas] are suing Ford because of the CrownVics gas tank placement .... now, Saudi buys them. Hmmmmm?
