The Godfather of all People Carriers - Toyota Hiace (tourister??)

Cyrus43 · 3rd April 2008, 22:45

Spotted this outside ITC today. It is a TOYOTA tourister or something. Forgot the name

Just look at those beautiful rims. They were huge. At least 17s or 18s

Also when clicking these, a fleet of 5 BMW 7 series all Golden all with mutispoke sort of wheels passed by.

This looks similar to the Merc vans in Malaysia. Those rims are great i must say...

Yes there were two of them. And it was a taxi.

Is that a Toyota Hiace by any chance? They were quite popular with diplomats some time ago and was even used as a school bus for the American School of Bombay.

Guys, it has a sticker on the rear windshield :::: Limo Cars :::: plus it has yellow plates. Do you guys need any more clues to tell you it's a Taxi?

Is it just me or do the rims look a little ghetto?

Sankar · 4th April 2008, 07:57

^^ Yeah

To me those looks like chrome wheel covers; and looking at the amount of plastichrome garnishing on those vehicles i think they really are.

I see this car almost everyday, outside taj, there are a couple of these with yellow number plates. It also has a volvo badge on the rear!
