Roman's Taxi is based on the [[Albany]] [[Esperanto]] - due to the Albany badging, many people thought that it was actually called the [http://www.gta4.net/vehicles/index_old.php ''Albany'']. The car is visually distinguishable from the Esperanto by its minor alterations—red or yellow taxi [[wp:Automotive_lighting#Taxi_displays|emergency lights]] affixed to the front and back, taxi registration number on the trunk, advertising on the rear bumper and rear window, and a custom red interior. By default, Roman's Taxi is dark gray with a discolored gray driver's side front fender. It can be resprayed to other colors, and may be randomly resprayed back to its default appearance. | Roman's Taxi is based on the [[Albany]] [[Esperanto]] - due to the Albany badging, many people thought that it was actually called the [http://www.gta4.net/vehicles/index_old.php ''Albany''] (which was probably its [[Beta Releases|beta]] name, see ''Trivia'').
