Don't sell that Crown Vic'.

Planned innovations, which respond to direct input from drivers, owners and passengers, include:

2.0L 4-cylinder powertrain, engineered to enhance the emission performance and fuel efficiency of the taxi fleet;
Ample room for four passengers and their luggage, substantially improved over current taxi models;
A low-annoyance horn with exterior lights that indicate when the vehicle is honking, helping reduce noise pollution;
Sliding doors with entry step and grab handles, providing easy entry and exit;
Transparent roof panel (with shade) that will provide unique views of the city;
Independently controlled rear air conditioning with a grape phenol-coated air filter to improve cabin air quality;
Attractive, breathable, antimicrobial, environmentally friendly and easy-to-clean seat fabric that simulates the look and feel of leather;
Overhead reading lights for passengers and floor lighting to help locate belongings;
A mobile charging station for passengers that includes a 12V electrical outlet and two USB plugs;
A six-way adjustable driver's seat that features both recline and lumbar adjustments, even with a partition installed;
Standard driver's navigation and telematics systems.

Nissan also focused on passenger safety when designing the NV200 taxi. Key safety features include:

Front and rear-seat occupant curtain airbags, as well as seat-mounted airbags for the front row;
Standard traction control and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC);
Sliding doors to reduce the risk of pedestrians, cyclists and other motorists getting struck by doors opening unexpectedly;
Lights that alert other road users that taxi doors are opening.

I agree. What if the Nissan is a pile of crap like the FX4R? You're stuck with one vehicle choice again. :roll:
