World cities and their taxis

This is a great little article from the New Zealand Herald about major world cities in Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, India and German and their taxis.  But where is the picture of the iconic New York City taxi?   That famous Ford Crown Victoria is no longer in production so there will be less and less of them around.  Now it’s anything that goes.  http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/news/article.cfm?c_id=9&objectid=11194954
