MCI J4500

Looks to me, Swadian, from all this recent enthusiasm, that the J4500 has replaced the DL3 as your fave......

I am somewhat surprised, that in the partial redesign of the J, that they didn't change its model number, as in past practice....something akin to "J4505"......?

Naw, the DL3 is still my fave, my avatar and sig are still the DL3, right? But the DL3 isn't allowed in California anymore, a somewhat major problem if you are living right by California. As for coaches currently in production, yeah, I'd say my favorite is probably the J4500 followed by H3-45, no longer than guzzler D4505 for sure! Not a fan of the X3-45's window design, I think it was great back in 1976 when the LeMirage was first introduced , not in 2014 anymore.

Bus operator in Louisiana (Lewis Coaches) says the Restyled J4500 is far better than the pre-2013 J4500. Also agreed upon by Peter Pan drivers. So they have got to be pretty dang good.

Looks like the Restyled J4500 was very much modeled after the original 102EL3 which was also quite a bit more attractive than the original J4500 IMO, because of the roof cap design.
