New NYC Taxi of the Day

The Nissan NV200 minivan has taken top honors in New York City's competition to find a new taxi cab. The vehicle boasts odor-reducing and anti-microbial interior fabric; charging ports for passengers' small electronics; a sliding door; floor lights; and GPS. The new design will be revealed today, though it won't make its official debut until October 2013. Current taxi cabs will be phased out by 2018. [theverge]
