Should Gillig introduce a next generation product?

I was wondering, does anyone think Gillig may soon come out with a next generation low floor bus to directly compete with the New Flyer Xcelsior? The Low Floor/BRT as it is now is a heavier bus than the Xcelsior, and perhaps Gillig should give its loyal customers a next generation product that would be more comparable.

In addition to reducing the weight of the bus, here are some options Gillig should consider in a next generation product:
• Extend the windows downward on the low floor section of the bus for shorter riders can see out of them.
• Except on CNG models, move the HVAC system to the roof and add a rear window option.
• Offer an articulated variant.
• Offer skylight rooftop emergency exits.

What does anyone here think?
