  Technically speaking, anyone could import a Holden Commodore and register it as a taxi under a private taxi license as well?

  That kinda degrades the Honda Airwave.

  Is the Mitsu 380 the so-called new Magna?

  Well, you can say so.
  
  Officially, the Mitsubishi 380 is the successor to the Magna. There are rumours of a 2.4L version called the Mitsubishi 240 as well.

  In Oz, the police use pick-ups like those pictured above to ferry troublemakers back to the station.

  Haha, Airwave, looks quite cool...
  The Hilux looks like hearse, agree, I won't really want to be on board...
  I rather something like a WRX as a taxi, off road, high speed, all also can...

  Peugeot Partner taxis have also just been launched. Looks similar to the Fiat Doblo. Operated by STTA drivers.
