[Checker-l] Re: Question of the Quarter

[Carguy]

No, if they were to build a modern taxicab, it should be modern!  I'd like to see something like the Ghia prototype of 1970 or the Rabbit-based prototype from when Ed Cole was at Checker in the late '70s.  But it would need to be front-wheel drive, and either a hybrid drivetrain or diesel.  I'm afraid our Checkers as we know them are too big and too thirsty for modern taxi service at current and future fuel prices.
