Definitely not a pretty sight, I think you will agree. This is not an artists impression either, some of these are actually being tested in Helsinki:

(there's a video)
Mike Rutherford (AOL.motoring) saw it at the Paris Motor Show and had this to say:

.......little ol’ Finland proved that you only need one if the exhibit is strong and interesting enough. And its hybrid CityCab (citycab.stadia.fi) certainly is. It’s based on a Toyota Prius, is the work of students in Helsinki, it’s already undergoing real world testing and the hope is to persuade London Mayor 'Red' Ken Livingstone (or 'Ken Rouge' as he’s known in Paris) to approve it as the official taxi for the English capital.
