And you could not blink twice without seeing a brand new mercedes. About 85% of the taxis i saw in Paris were new/current generation mercedes. Mostly E's but there were brand new C's and a lot of S's doing taxi duty too. Made me at first but then a bit after that. If you saved your money to buy a benz people would just think you are a taxi driver, and besides if you wanna ride in a benz you could just stick your hand out and wait on the corner for 30 seconds. Most of the street cars i saw there were renaults/citroens/peugots but for the most part it was mercedes fever.

also visited london was different since they use old school style taxis but it was also awesome because i saw a massive amount of supercars in london in a mere 2 days

all the euro C's dont have amber reflector cut outs... its nice looking, but the single tailpipe on c300 CDIs was lame

 

I love paris and to me owning a car in the city is useless since they have a decent advance rail system in the entire city. I have lived in italy where a mercedes is useful for long drives in the autostrada. germany seems weird because for some odd reason they prefer driving an audi than a mercedes. well I hate to say this but I miss the european life.

 

I have a German friend and he always call my car a TAXI

 

Around Place de Concorde you always see super whips...Arab money

 

I had also noticed all the Benz's in Paris last Decemeber when we visited ...... even hopped into a new E350 Taxi when we arrived off the Eurostar !!

 

Surprised by the number of original Mini Coopers in near mint condition you find running around the Septieme (Rive Gauche) of Paris. Unfortunately I drove a Megane at the time.

 

Thats also here in the Netherlands, most taxi's are Mercedes....

Friends always say, i only drive a Benz when im getting a Taxi, and just like tanktube, they call me a Taxi
