Mv 1

AM General and the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission are offering such deep incentives on a new wheelchair-accessible MV-1 Empire Taxi that the vehicle can end up costing as little as $11,200.

AM General, the manufacturer best known as the maker of the US military's Humvee, has restarted production of the MV-1, the versatile van targeted specifically at the underserved market for the disabled.

The streets of Gotham are about to look a lot different. After being inundated with legions of bulky Ford Crown Victoria and the occasional Toyota Sienna or Prius for years, New York City's hack pool is slated to get a fresh crop of yellow ugly thanks to its "Taxi of Tomorrow" program.
