Toyota Prius

Watching one of these zipping along Broadway gets one to thinking.
This is such a different era and times are continuing to change at a
rapid pace. Namely the American Auto makers are certainly no longer
the exclusive makers of these yellow taxis. There was a time that all
taxis were Ford or Chevrolet. How long before we see a cop car made by
Honda? An accord patrol car perhaps?

The second point is the "green" concept. While I applaud the attempt
to improve our ecological footprint, is it really working? These cabs
get the same mileage out as regular cars when they are driven
aggressively, and these are cabs for crying out loud! Anyway,
hopefully we're heading in the right direction.
