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:

Quote:
.......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.

Quick send the link to the PCO and Red Ken, It looks bloody brill, Gbc will be please he did not rush out and by a tx4, and what about the turning circle short or what, no ramp needed for the wheelchair, now if they bring out a 6 seat one I could be tempted to speak to the bank.
