London Cabbie?


What's DC up to now?, originally uploaded by Auberon.

One of the benefits of driving on I-75 is being able to catch the occasional auto exec enjoying one of the perks of their job, driving around Metro Detroit in some concept vehicle turned production model. Most often on my stretch of I-75 I see Daimler Chrysler vehicles being road-tested. I distinctly recall seeing the Dodge Nitro often, and well before it was advertised on TV/Radio.

I caught an article in the local papers one day about London Cabs coming to Detroit. It was before the Superbowl came to town, so it would have to be right around December of 2005.

Some internet research seems to indicate that there's a company in Boston that's had around 70 units since about 2002.
