New Wright Gemini

[BestWestern]

'Overstyled' I think would be the word...

It's a shame that Wright seem to have dropped the ball on the looks front, when a few years back they were churning out their 'Classic' range which, on full sized vehicles such as the B10BLE Renown variant, were very nice looking buses. However, this was in the last days of buses looking traditionally smart and not being overburdened with supposedly trendy styling. That glazed panelling over the staircase just looks mismatched and rather daft in my opinion.

The new Enviro is a better looking offering, in my view. However the Optare Spectra was far better looking than anything since, but again I'm clearly not being funky enough! :-/

I don't like that design at all - very poor in my opinion. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the initial design similar to the Gemini 2 - I don't see why it was changed because it looks absolutely dreadful now. I agree with BestWestern - the "Classic" style body such as the Endurance and Renown are ageless designs in my opinion. I think the Commander is an excellent design too

I think it'll be interesting to see what the Eclipse 3 looks like when that is revealed. Hopefully it will look something like the initial Gemini 3 design as I think that would look quite smart

Even so out of the current Euro VI range on the market I much prefer the new Enviro400 which I think is an excellent design. They're very nice to travel on as well - I'm certainly looking forward to some arriving in my area next year
