No British Invasion

I really like London's Civilized Cabs, but I don't see them making a big dent in the US. First off, they're too nice for the streets of NYC. And there are plenty of other reasons as well, but what gets me is having to sit facing backwards in one of the jump seats. It's not like riding backwards in a limo. For some reason, maybe it's that I can see out of all the windows, I get sick very quickly when riding backwards in these cabs and I don't get car sick at all otherwise, never really have. Throw that into the mix, and I just don't see them making a big splash over here, despite how cool they look.
