Which just goes to show you that aesthetics are relative, because, while I love the classic London taxi design, I think this one looks just fine as an update.

London’s new taxi is astonishingly hideous http://wrd.cm/KJdcpW

A bit ugly (particularly the line of the hood), but designed for a purpose and readily identifiable in a crowd. Works for me. Large rear doors, and I'm guessing a low-deck hatchback for mobility scooters and such.
Though, they could save themselves a lot of money if they had conventional metal bumpers. A fender bender will cost a fortune on that.
Looks useful and fine to me, too
