In 2013, the Ford Crown Victoria taxis will begin disappearing from city streets and will be replaced by Nissan's brand new NV200 van. It will be the first purpose built taxi roaming NYC in decades and promises to be the cab of the future.

And before anyone gets upset about us losing the hearts and minds of Iraqi cab drivers, we'd point out that the little cab…
