LTI TX4

We headed for the NAIAS in Cobo Hall in downtown Detroit yesterday and were surprised at how little was going on, but greatful because we showed up on an industry “crowd” day so there wasn’t a lot of hype. Even before you get in the main floor, you notice that the Chinese cars weren’t allowed in with the American cars, so we wandered over to a couple of them before going inside. One of these is the TX4, created here as a taxi. This is what LTI refers to as a “multifunctional classic business car.” Included in its advantages is u-turns without 3-point turning, ABS for anti-lock, and basic comfort for passengers.

Hello. LTI is not a Chinese company, although it may have been left out of the main hall just the same. LTI (London Taxi International) is the sole manufacturer of the classic London taxi, in my opinion the best taxi vehicle ever built. Check out my post on the subject on my blog Smart Stuff here:

Best regards,
