    Mark- Agree with you on the VHD, Only good looking Volvo in my opinion. (Axle fore ward only) Heinz-Does Volvo Heavy Haul offer the Cummins X-15, If so will Mack follow? I think Acar offers seal beams also. Keep it simple stupid. KS- I believe you like the new Autocar conventionals? I saw Severino up in NH had a new one. They used to be all Mack Granite dumps and then some Western Stars.

    Volvo had a head start on the new models, Mack (stepchild) is usually 6 months behind. Recently Mack had more sales than Volvo. Maybee due to MD popularity.

    Actually a oven heating element grill might be an upgrade. Kind of M shaped. Add some horizontal chrome bars and we are all set. Come on Volvo at least let the Mack engineers design a decent Mack grill, bumper and fenders to offset that new 1/2 ugly volvo cab!

    The new Mack Grills and bumpers have to go. The Mack Granite bumpers look cheap and the horizontal chrome grills need to be brought back. The Frontier and Anthem grills look like oven heating elements. So disappointing! The old style Anthems Granites and Pinnacles are much more appealing!

    Did the H-65 look like the H-63? What was the difference/upgrade?
  7. james j neiweem
    Volvo must be pissing their pants-Mack orders and market share were higher than Volvos recently!

    H-61, H-63, H-67, What happened to the H-65?

    I've changed my mind completeley on this being a Dart inspiration and go with KS assessment of a Euclid. I've seen Euc's that look just like this. KS to the rescue again.

    Fjh- Yes the old Mack is dead but there are still plenty of old Macks around too enjoy. As for the new Macks at least they are still around. I'll bash Volvo all day but I still can't bring myself to bash the new Macks to harshly. They do have a lot more cab configuration options now with the new cabs. The only Volvo that I like the looks of is the Volvo VHD axle forward. Take care!

    Early KW after Dart acquisition would be my guess. Like tjc said.

    Looks like they want to build two very separate models for heavy haul and logging. 1.) One a heavy haul conventional tractor with Cummins X15 (probably 18 speed or Allison) 2.) And the other is a Scania diesel hybrid with generator and motor like a locomotive I wish them luck. They seem to have a pretty good team together. They are looking for investors.

    Since Western Star dropped the 6900, it looks like the only competition for the KW C580 will be the upstart Canadian Edison Motor offering. Pretty interesting Company

    What are the specs on Mack AB and AC engines
  17. james j neiweem
    Where has 41 chevy been. Miss his input. Hope he is OK!

    Awesome thanks! Who was the gentleman in the video?
  19. james j neiweem
    FJ good point! I forgot Volvo screwed with Acar also!
  20. james j neiweem
    Let me guess. Made a good looking grill to look hideous?
  21. james j neiweem
    Better looking old or new Granite-IMHO old' Better looking old or new Anthem-IMHO old Better looking old Pinnacle (CHU) or new Keystone-IMHO Pinnacle Better looking Old Mayflower cab or Volvo cab-IMHO tossup The new Mack grills are not that appealing( look Cheap) Update-Chrome versions are decent That being said I guess the new Volvo cab interior exceeds the older Mayflower cab interior dimensions and layout. I guess these new models have to grow on you. Get rid of the new hideous bumper and go back to the old rectangular one with the bent ends. ( Rugged looking) They may be offered as options,

    Mack installed engines in Ohskosh mixers for a short while when they had a joint venture for front discharge mixers. I guess Mack will never again be in the front discharge mixer market. Volvo probably doesn't even know what one is!
  23. james j neiweem
    Kind of looks like a Lund visor. Always liked those. 20,000 thousand may seem high but you are getting something scarce as hen's teeth. Hope fully it's not bondoed to death.
  24. james j neiweem
    It pops up from time to time on the March 2 reveal. Looks more Volvo than Mayflower, I may be wrong.

    Nice motor home chasis!
