get the caprice.
i think the caprices/impalas are better looking than the fords. You could get a Caprice for super cheap, but an Impala is a better investment if you can find one.
By the way, they are not really known for tranny problems, just electrical crap that is not surprising for American cars.
I own an Accord and an Impala, and they both have their high points. The Impala actually gets 23 mpg stock on the highway, and with rims and tint it has a very unique look. On the other hand, the Honda never has any problems, but does not give me the same pride of ownership.

Crown Victoria is on it's own platform and is obviously a Ford. It has a 4.6 liter V8, RWD, bench seats, etc. Basically it's a reincarnation of the 1960's family mobile but makes ideal cop cars because of size, durability and the fact that Ford discounts them up the wazoo.
The Caprice/Impala are both based off the old B-Body platform and use the 5.7 liter V8 that was LT1 based. They both handled like crap the the Impala was actually pretty cool because it had a lot of old muscle car traits such as big body, lots of power, crappy seats and no handling prowess. Impala junkies love this.
The new Impala has a 3.8 V-6 and is FWD. You can get a supercharged version now that's supposed to recall the days of the old Impalas but doesn't because GM sucks and that's pretty much a well known fact anyway. :gives:
