That’s not a VW Beetle Taxi, it’s a “sedan” and yes, it’s pretty much out phased, but they keep rolling and rolling, this car is special kuz it doesn’t need any water to keep moving, amazing german technology! Well miss them! ='(
And yes, i AM from Mexico City, so i must know about this….

unDave,
Actually, IT IS a VW Beetle. Beetle is how commonly that kind of VW has been always known, but for mexicans the Beetle is just the new (and a lot more expensive) design of the VW “sedan”.
And yes, I AM from Mexico, so I must know about this.

What about ring taxi? http://www.yourautostuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/bmw-m5-ring-taxi-drifting.jpg http://www.teammoomoo.com/images/other%2019Aug07/Ring%20taxi.jpg
These taxis are available in Germany – Nürburgring race track.
The Ring Taxis (there are two) are V10 BMW M5s with modified suspension and brakes. :)

unDave, putting a trademark symbol anywhere near your name is a clear sign of douchebaggery. Just in case you weren’t aware…

The Corvette is not really a taxi – it was a car in Gumball 3000 in 2008. Basically it is just some guy’s Corvette on which they have put on a Taxi sign to ride from San Francisco to Las Vegas. I know it, because I have been there. His room was next to mine.

unDave,
That is definitely a VW Beetle. A sedan is just a TYPE of car, not a brand name.
Sedans are classified by having 2 rows of seats, typically with 4 doors.
These old Beetles are awesome, indeed. They were meant for everyone to afford. I’m afraid the new VWs have strayed far and beyond it’s original intent. The new Beetles are great too! Much more comfortable, but more expensive.
I’d love to ride in a Porche or Lambo taxi!

Out of Mexico that little car was known as Beetle (USA, that’s why there is a “New” Bettle), Fusca (Brazil), Pulga (Flea) in Colombia, Escarabajo (Spain) etc.
Here in Mexico was known as the “Volskwagen”, “Vocho”, “Vochito”, or just “Sedan”. The “formal” name here in Mexico was exactly “Volkswagen Sedan”.

Still will never come close to a good Glasgow Hackney Cab as they have the best ever turning abilitys,like a little back street you can turn the wheel around to it locks full around and head off the other way.
