I see

They will definitely be making revisions before it is brought to this market, there's no doubt, i.e. stronger steel, more airbags, etc...
But I'm pretty sure it will happen. As quoted from wikipedia: "Chery has plans to export the vehicle to the United States within the next few years (2010); prices range from $7,300 to $12,500 USD."
And yes I know wikipedia can be outdated and/or inaccurate but that is not the only source I've heard about this from. In fact, this year, for the first time ever, Chinese car companies including Chery displayed their models at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit (I went of course). I'm pretty sure we'll be getting some sort of Chinese POS model here within the next few years, albeit with safety revisions.

Huh, so how is the US going to adquire such things? i think you may have get it wrong Taxiguy.

Go to that site and click on the drop list and then on "todas" youll see eery vehicle, i already knew about that Toledo chinese twin, but are you sure such unsafe thing is going to be sold in the US?

haha, but I can't read it

Found the "taxis of the world" site

Yeah, I'm talking about nowadays taxis.
So they use current Toledos as taxis? I hate the current generation ones, they're ugly. But as I said I like the older ones. Btw, you're surprised I know about Toledos? The only reason I know about them really is the US is going to be getting a version of the first generation Toledo badged as a Chery (Chinese car company) in 2010:

Anyway about the taxis of the world series I am planning on collecting some of them. In fact I just bought the 1998 Toyota Crown Comfort Tokyo taxi, the 1985 VW Beetle Mexico taxi, and the 1980 Hindatsu Ambassador India taxi on ebay a few hours ago. So I should be getting them in the mail sometime in the next week. I've been trying to find a list of all of them, but I can't. Do you know all of them? which ones do you have?

Its a shame no others were or are made, though im not 100% sure about this, i think, that a spanish car toy brand that didnt last long made several Toledos 1, which is very rare to find, i think aside from the plane civil model they did whether a taxi or a police car, either way very rare, i'd like to get one but they are sooo difficult to find... and i want it the first gen toledo is a nice looking car.

EEW taxiguy speaking of Seat Toledos and identifying them as first and second generation, am i dreaming?

Taxiguy as i said the collection of taxis of the world made by Altaya would suit you a lot, i did it entirely adn its quite nice, i also have that CV from NYC in 1:43 just like you

Abotu taxis from Spain it dependes on the era, there are plenty Toledos on the road, specially in Madrid as taxis yet, also Skoda Octavias and superb, Seat Toledo of the third generation, those are the most common ones, as i said, specially on cities like MAdrid, in small towns and smaller cities like mine can be you may found any four door sedan model, that is for nowadays.
