I've seen it before I got my Kizzy, but I saw it again this morning on my way into work.
There is an ice blue Kizashi SE used as a taxi in Washington, DC.
DC doesn't have all yellow cabs of only a few models like NYC. While most of the taxis are Crown Vics and their Lincoln/Mercury variants, there a few Civics, Accords, Camrys, Highlanders, Outbacks, Suburbans, etc. as taxis. I guess there is a Kizashi among them too.
Anyone else seem them used as a taxi or any other commercial use?

Not a K-car, but this local guy was using a Chrysler 300 SRT8 as a cab; bet he got there fast.

I hadn't seen the Kizashi taxi again since the first post until just the other day while stuck in traffic. It was the same ice blue Kizashi that looks to be a SE. I snapped a photo this time.
I've only seen this one Kizashi as a taxi so it may be the only one serving in DC.
The Kizashi is a rare sight as it is so seeing one as a taxi was exciting. It's probably AWD too to make it a good foul-weather taxi unlike a RWD Ford Crown Victoria.
(I gave the driver a pumpkin head because it's now October)

I wonder how many uber drivers are using them? Even though the rear is a bit cramped compared to a crown vic, etc, I bet they would still be a luxury ride vs a regular one.

Saw it again yesterday, up close this time. I think it's the only Kizashi taxi in DC as it looks to be the same car.
