Next taxi????

[Auturbo6]

Having been a taxi mechanic for a few years now, ive been very impressed with how well the falcon, especially the wagon have served as almost indestructible tanks, very well suited to the abuse shelled out by our (completely incompetent) taxi drivers. The falcon has it's issues, but a very robust chassis and suspension setup (on the wagon anyway) has served taxi owners very well.

However, no more wagons, and the rising fuel prices have forced a shift in vehicles being recruited for taxi duties. In my opinion, the biggest issue facing this industry is very few truly suitable vehicles that could possibly suit taxi use.

These are some of my criteria:

Suspension setups that won't collapse at sight of gutter or pothole, fords, fields, or anywhere else these idiots end up.

Body work that can withstand (to a point) constant collisions with everything using the road or footpath, field etc.

Interior that doesn't fall apart upon customer ripping and tearing, throwing up, hammering, stabbing etc.

Mechanically strong, not oil leaking disaster like EA-EL.

So what do you think, maybe a WW2 pantzer.
