American Taxi…..View of American city

When you go  to American cities, you will always see Yellow Cabs everywhere.

It is a part of American culture and also a part of American Landscape.

They have been using American Full size sedan for many years and lately it was monopoly of Ford Crow Victoria since GM pulled out from the market in 1996.

American cars are different from rest of the world. They are bigger, wider and softer…it is almost like yacht or something.

For most of tourist, they will be the first American car to experience.

But, Ford Crown Victoria is already withdrawn and now, Toyota is slowly taking over the position.

Yellow Cab…..Toyota  Prius

If you compare those 2 photos……the first one with Ford looks way better than the one with Toyota.

Today, it is getting harder to take Street photos in the United States. This is because of Imports especially Japanese vehicles. Like this example, The same street photo looks way better or more America like….with the Ford Crown Victoria.

Vancouver BC….where I live is now all taken over by Toyota and Prius is one of the most popular cab. Personally, I don’t think Prius is economical to average drivers…but for taxi….maybe that is economical although they spend 10K extra when they buy and spend extra for every service.

Yellow Cab will slowly get rid of old Ford Crown Victoria and shift to Japanese…..that is destroying culture and landscape of America too.

New York City is going to adapt Nissan soon…..but that design is almost as bad as  Air Pollution.

New VPG MV-1 will look way better than that.
