Abu Dhabi is getting a fleet of London cabs (painted pearly white). The fools think the cabs will be an icon of the city. They won't. With a Guggenheim, Louvre, cookie-cutter F1 track and Warner Bros theme park on the way (and copies of Dubai's Film Festival and golf championship already in place), the UAE capital is fast gaining a reputation for unoriginality. Plenty of cash, no idea.In London, the cabs have become iconic because there are 1,000s of them and they've been running for years. In Abu Dhabi they will just look tacky.
