They've been taking tips from the London taxis - that's for sure.

It's a right F*cking mess, though !

Did they make it out of bits?!

Why does a city based cab need to be that big and heavy duty for a start?

They should have made a retro version of the classic Checker (like the new Camaro/Mustang/Beetle).

2nd'ed totally crap, as you say, thats not been designed, someone just photoshopped together 3 or 4 different pics of other stuff.

Thats so ugly, I kinda like it

I didn't realise Americans were getting THAT fat...

Quite quite revolting. What the hell were they thinking even presenting that as a design...

I love their excuse for it being wheelchair accessibility, yet you can get wheelchairs in the back of modern Black Cabs and it's half the flippin size!

we should just sell em black cabs - its very close to a perfect design

exactly.. how much fuel does that thing take?

its outrageous. why should i be made to reduce Co2 when america is allowed to use things like that, with no regards to the total excess and wastefulness of it?
