The taxi’s are all becoming Prius’s in my hood!
The U.S. version of Top Gear recently had a "$500 car challenge" wherein each of the three guys had to go find a car and buy it for no more than that amount, then compete in various ways - including a 500-mile drive. I forget what the other two cars were (one might've been an older Mercedes), but the ex-taxi Crown Vic was the winner (and only competitor to make it all the way to the finish line). It had over 400K miles on the clock.
I'd like to see a Prius match that.
