The taxis overhere are mostly M-B E and C models, Volvo S80's and V70's,
but there are also a lot of Toyota Avensis's.
The only car that I have not seen as an taxi is the Audi A6.

We also have a small number of M-B S's and BMW 7-series as taxis.
They usually co-work as VIP cars and they are black.
I would hate driving a taxi car, but with 18" wheels I stand out, somewhat!
Shit, a drive a 85.000 $ car, and some f**ing drunk wawes to stop
me in the city... no way!
I say that BMW is too greedy, why do they sell to taxis?
When the M-B f**ed up their E-classe, we E60 owners now pay the price!
