I arrived in Milan yesterday and the first thing that struck me was a second gen white Prius taxi (all taxis here must be white). The next thing that struck me was yet another white Prius taxi. They're everywhere! I thought it was awesome and thought some of you might as well. I can't say how far they've been driven because I'm a walker but if I happen to need a taxi sometime while I'm here, I'm sure I'll wait for a Prius taxi.
Yes, another Chatter said that there seems to be a lot of them in Italy. http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-main-forum/44227-prius-taxi.html They do look good in Super White. The Prius taxis I've seen in New York City don't look so good in NYC taxicab yellow. Lucky you being in Italy. Wishing I were there.
