ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. "Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........

The car that seriously surprised me over there was the lincoln town car - got in a cab in NY that was about 30 years old and it was honestly the most comfortable car I've ever been in, plus all the electrics still worked!

They're starting to become unfashionable now though as they're stupidly expensive to run even stateside, but its taken the Americans 15 years to realise this. (single digit mpg as a taxi, vs 25-35 from a Ford Escape hybrid or similar - cheaper to buy the tinfoil car and scrap it after 300k) Still popular amongst the illegal immigrant taxi driver market though, as they're so cheap in initial outlay.
The only country that uses ex-Police 'interceptors' as flippin' tacxicabs! 300,000 miles on the police fleet first, then another 300,000 bashed about as a taxicab, and still they keep rolling... :-o
