Youd think theyd be riding in more fuel efficient cars or something by now. The scion xb would seem like a great taxi car. Im sure its more fuel efficient than a crown vic and probably roomier with more luggage space while being a smaller car. why the crown vic? is it purely based on recognizability?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Naveed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2007 9:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yes, the xB could likely make a nice cab. But I don't know if Scion/Toyota would let it get into that game (fleet type of sales, I guess they would be).<br><br>Though you make a very valid point. With so many taxis running around, that's a LOT of fuel and I'd think a large potential for energy savings.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[akintz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2007 9:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why the crown vic? You have to recognize that a fleet of cabs is a huge capital investment. Along with that investment are their repair shops which are fitted with equipment to fix crown vics (or whatever specific models are in a fleet). Plus, one never knows what sort of agreement the cab companies have with Ford to purchase certain numbers of vehicles in the future.<br><br>Bottom line, a lot more variables go into swapping a fleet of cars other than gas price and fuel efficiency. And there are probably plenty more variables than I mentioned above.<br><br>One thing is for sure, each of these companies have cost accountants crunching the numbers every day.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2007 11:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[You can get Crown Vics cheap when the police are done with them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2007 11:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[Worlds Fastest Taxi<br><a href="http://www.worldsfastesttaxi.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldsfastesttaxi.com/</a><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Whatsizface]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2007 10:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[I thought NYC taxis already did 200MPH.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Stracke]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2007 10:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[An even more terrifying nyc cab drive? ugh...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[iBalla]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2007 10:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/advanced-taxi-prototypes-to-be-demoed-at-new-york-car-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hm, why shouldn't Scion let them?
