As a long time NY fan, the Yellow Cab (read Ford Crown Victoria and predecessors) has been part of the mystique. Now we have this:

So what do you think, will we get used to them, will films and TV be filled with them in NY scenes in a few years time?

Or do you prefer:

I am still sorry that they stopped using checker cabs.
The old checker marathon is the iconic NY cab to me.

I actually like the idea. It will save gas for sure,and looks like it might have a smaller foot print than the other cabs. And After driving once in NY city with tractor trailer I say thats great.
My only comlaint is that they should be built in the US.

I agree with James plus they look simply ugly.
