You know it's funny, I always refer to my LS460 as if I'm using it "like a taxi", but this guy actually is using his as a taxi. Hilarious! Must be the best taxi ride anyone's ever received.

Nah, that's the XM radio antenna. I have one on my LS as well.

No, that's the XM sharkfin. I'm talking about the metal antenna on the trunk area.

I'd say that would be the radio antenna for whatever taxi/limo/airport service the car is a fleet of.

I would have to assume this LS is part of a fleet lease.

I can't imagine anyone personally owning an new(er) LS460 and "pimping it out" to be a taxi service.

Its probably either a high end taxi service or a 5 star hotel Taxi.
I'm sure there are Merc S class and some Jaguars used for this service as well but I highly doubt you will see an Audi or a BMW.

Seems like it would be way cheaper to use a ES for that type of duty.

I know this car service. It's about 2 years old Russian company. Their fleet of cars are mostly Lexus ES350 hybrid, but also one LS, one Maserati Ghibli, Suburban, MB Sprinter Van and couple other cars. Totally about 20 cars. They actually have very good prices compared to other car services in the area. All cars are brand new.
