Sorry to go back and off topic but.....
No taxi operator is going to go to a vehicle with the servicing costs of the europeans, not to mention the skills/knowledge required to do so, then add in cost and availability of parts.......
A falcon is boring, simple, brutal, and cheap (possibly like their owners?!) for everything from tyre sizes to brakes, transmissions, even filters.
Just the fact that any monkey can change a falcon transmission in a couple of hours, or that Repco/Bursons etc have most parts you need on the shelf and CHEAP!!
No one will ever seriously get into the taxi market while these capable dinosaurs still roam the roads........
BTW, if i could downsize from my Tranny, the Skoda looks GREAT!!!
