For such a large company you'd think they could have designed something a
bit less utterly butt ugly than the horror that was presented the other
day.

Have you not seen any cars manufactured by large companies recently?

Yes, there are plenty of ugly vehicles out there. But usually its a one off
balls up by the company concerned. However taxis by LTI have been
consistently
ugly for 50 years. Thats not a balls up, its complete indifference to any
sort
of aesthetic appeal.

Has it not occurred to you that not everyone shares your concept of
aesthetics?

Given that its the interests of car manufacturers who actually have some
decent competition (unlike LTI) to make cars that people want to buy, I think
the style of modern cars tells you all you need to know. So while not everyone
shares my idea of style (fiat multipla still sold) I think I'm probably in the
majority and I very much doubt the majority of cabbies are happy paying a small
fortune for such a pig ugly vehicle.
