Japanese Limo Manufacturer Launches New Galue Limousine

By San Francisco Limousine Specialist on November 5, 2010

Japanese limousine manufacturer Mitsuoka has just unveiled a new limo based on the Nissan Teana.

The headlamp configuration also suggests the classic Rolls look with very similar shape and positioning. The rounded fenders evoke a larger, more generous version of Jaguar’s sensuous lines, and the sloped back and chrome highlights also suggest that designers borrowed liberally from both British luxury automakers.

A court has ordered an environmentally friendly limo service based in Cambridge, MA to pay its chauffeurs $75,000 in a lawsuit settlement. PlanetTran, a limo rental service in the Boston area, apparently cared more about establishing its “green” credibility than it did about paying its drivers an entirely different kind of green, the tips the chauffeurs had earned by transporting the limo service’s guests. The drivers filed a class-action lawsuit against the limo rental service, claiming that PlanetTran had violated state law by collecting tips and keeping them instead of disbursing them to drivers.
