I'm not sure why anybody would care. The rental fleets offer what people will rent and if they find MB profitable then good for them.

I don't understand why this is an issue either. When Hype wrapped his E in Taxi Orange, I thought it looked authentic. Just needed the TAXI light on the top.

I wish they had a E63 for rental. I would love to drive one for a day before I decide on leasing one next year.

You missed the most authentic of the US cabs - a Checker.

Before getting an E-63 new, find a good used E-55 instead!

They are much quicker and a better car for less money.
Maybe find a good CPO if they are still available?

There is no comparison between a stock E63 and a good used E-55.
The newer E63 is slower and not nearly as much fun to drive
and the E-55 gets better fuel economy to boot!

Test drive a used E-55 before making the mistake of getting a new
E-63 and you will discover what I am talking about.

Good luck!

Regards,

Derrel
