Awesome video! I've always liked Mercedes-Benz cars, and with a diesel engine offered, it'd make an economical taxi cab. When you consider how much diesel fuel costs these days, it's important that the engine burns the fuel in a cleaner, more reliable manner. My favourite body styles for Mercedes-Benz are the Ponton, the Heckflosse, and the /8 sedans.
