Holland is at least as good as this, probably better. Though I haven't seen the new W221 yet as a taxi

Those taxi drivers must be making some decent money to drive such cars.

Re: ***German Taxis*** - 08-04-2006, 01:03 PM

As for Finland, here's last year's top ten in taxi sales:

1. Mercedes-Benz E-Class
2. Volvo V70
3. Toyota Avensis
4. Volkswagen Caravelle
5. Volvo S80
6. Volkswagen Passat
7. Mercedes-Benz C-Class
8. Volkswagen Touran
9. Citroën C5
10. Ford Mondeo

Although where I live, there's definitely more A6 and 5er taxis than the list suggests.

And E-Class is unrivaled at the top of the list. Every other taxi that goes past you seems to be an E-Class at least in the bigger cities in Finland.
