The Nissan NV200 is the new New York taxi

As you may know, the Taxi and Limousine Commission of New York City had a time finding a common model with which to replace the 16 vehicles that now form the famous fleet of yellow cabs in the Big Apple. After an initial screening that left runners at the Ford Transit Connect, a proposal by the Turkish and Karsan Otomotiv NV200 Nissan, the Japanese have finally managed to get the upper hand, winning a 10-year contract valued at more than 1,000 million dollars.

The first yellow vans begin to walk the streets of New York in early 2013, giving the final nail in the Jurassic and yet so typical Ford Crown Victoria, now almost a symbol of the city, although other models Good had already begun to relieve them.
