prediction, huh! the amaze will surely make an appearance here next year. 400 L boot + diesel mileage @ 25 km/l would tempt all taxi wallahs
We have chevy Beat with micro mini boot running as Taxi from east to west what is a Brio ?

People are using own car as Taxi as well as for private use this is no surprise in modern days.
Who cares if you are coming by Taxi or car nowadays.
oh Yes nit-picky ego centric would![frustration]

In Mumbai we get to see a variety of cars with yellow plates.
New Swift, DZire, New DZire, Santro, Ertiga, Innova, Tavera, Indica, Manza, Indigo and CS, Ertiga, SX4, Etios, Vento, City, Scorpio, and the list goes on and on. N number of Mercs and BMWs are seen. I have even seen a Jaguar and a RR Evoque. Never seen an Audi in yellow plates. Also never seen an XUV with 'T' mark. Have seen just one Fluidic and one Liva in yellow plates. BTW I too have not seen a POLO till now. Also people say Brio is also on roads in yellow plates; but havent seen though.

have not hired a taxi since long but yeah in delhi we used to get a wagon R for 500 odd bucks a couple of years back for 8hr/80kms. needless to say it was with aftermarket CNG/LPG.

Whats the big deal ,I have seen Punto taxi in Kerala and Nano too
True. In kerala, one can find all unexpected vehicles as taxi. Even saw, Tata Aria! But IMO, luxury cars are quite less as a taxi. There was one somewhere in kerala. Ferrari! Remember?

Bangalore,
I saw Maruti 800 the same way. Had luggage stand on the roof with 2 luggages. The car was looking like a lowrider due to the extra weight! :tongue:
Buddy please visit IGI arrival gate where in tax stand you find plenty of 800s. I even hired 800 once from airport to home [evil]
