I dunno about everyone else but I personally find the design trends of the newer busses less attractive than some of the older designs. For one thing I have a hard time telling the new ones apart and they all have kind of a bulbous, bugeyed look. I know part of it is aerodynamics, etc. And of course, it's a matter of personal taste! But can you imagine what it's gonna be like to work on these things when they're 15+ years old? You will need a veritable shop full of computer diagnostic equipment and a PhD in electronic system controls! But that's just me: kind of a stick in the mud! Henry |

I have to agree with Hank. They have done the same thing to buses that have been done with cars. Absolutely no personality in new cars and that bus has nothing going for it as far as appearance as far as I am concerned. Looks like a smooth skinned stick and staple with windows. And only one under bay for storage? Think I would prefer my Eagle. Richard |

I believe I could live with that, if it got 18-20 MPG. Ed |

Put a few Coleman ACs on that roof, along with the sat dish, the Internet dish, the sat phone dish, a few exhaust fans.... a few awnings on the side... a bike rack on the front and a meaningful tow bar on the rear.... and wow... All set for a a week at WalMart's! |

I like to pull a lever which is connected to a cable that is connected to a valve. Can you imagine what the black box would cost to replace in this puppy (and what happens when it goes down)? <brrrr> |

|@n, I want one too, but OhMyGod, how I hate those Prayintg Mantis Mirrors. I saw a lot of them down in Mexico last trip, and they sure look strange when a mirror gets mangled and droops, or maybe is beating the paint to death along the side where it's hanging by the electical cable. Cheers...JJ |

These busses were made for the Euro tourist market , and are scrapped every 3 years or so. The travel agents WONT work with "old" coaches, Most go to South America and Africa where anything goes. Why wait ?, FAST FRED |
