If they bring this into service, then it will ruin the Victorian elegance of London. If you ask me, they should bring the old Routemaster back!
That sort of bus would look great in a city like Hong Kong or Tokyo, but i really can't see it in any city in the UK.
Is kinda cool looking though i guess!!

I only agree 50% with you on this.

I know what you are saying bud, but i still just think that if i were to see a bus like this driving down Park Lane, or through Knightsbridge, Piccadilly etc, i'd only think it looked wrong and out of place.
I agree that the city has an old and modern design, BUT, it's not THAT modern! Personal opinions obviously!! The design is too futuristic for London IMO.

It's great. So they'll never make it.
I'd much rather have futuristic than the boring square boxes they replaced the Routemasters with. I don't have any problems seeing a Veyron driving through central London, so I wouldn't have a problem with this either.
