What is up with those taxis? Are those older Toyotas from the 1980s-1990s, or does Toyota still make those new, but their designs are just frozen in time? Very interesting!

Thanks!
Those taxis are Toyota Crown Comforts, first made in 1995 and finally discontinued in 2018. It did get a minor facelift in 2002, which are the ones you mainly see in HK nowadays. But yeah overall the design does look like something out of the early-mid 90s. Toyota’s answer to the Crown Victoria. I believe taxi operators also use them in Singapore and Japan, although they are most recognized in the HK taxi livery. Interestingly they are fueled by LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) rather than regular gasoline.
