In case you hadn't already, take a look at the new VPG (formerly Standard Taxi) website at http://www.vpgautos.com/.

What do you think of this new accessible vehicle? One big question: How much will it cost, especially with the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) option? Second big question: Even with the CNG option, will it satisfy the call from Mayor Bloomberg and environmental groups for "green" taxis?

Production is still set for sometime in 2010.

If you have a friend in Seattle who wants to see the vehicle, it'll be on display as part of the American Public Transportation Association convention on May 4, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. (location: IMPARK Parking Lot, 2100 6th Avenue in Seattle -- five blocks from the Sheraton Seattle), according to Marc Klein of VPG.

We should get a chance to see it here in New York City sometime between May 20-27.
