In French:
Des X3-45 pour la ville de New York
Plus tôt cette année, Prevost Car a reçu une commande de 90 autobus X3-45 de la part de la MTA de New York. La commande est pour être livrée entre octobre 2011 et janvier 2012, excepté pour un prototype en juillet. Celui-ci, le 2400, a été envoyé ce dimanche depuis les installations de Prevost Car du secteur St-Nicolas à Lévis. Ces autobus (véhicules 2400-2489) qui feront parti de la flotte de test de la MTA serviront entre-autres de navettes vers les stations de métro et sont équipés de moteur Volvo D13 et de transmission Allison B500. A noter, la présence de portes se séparant en deux, d’une girouette électronique pleine largeur et d’une finition intérieure de type « transit » pour le poste du chauffeur et les sièges 4One des passagers.

The only thing I can understand is the bus will have a Volvo D13 engine coupled to an Allison B500 transmission. And I can make out the 4One passenger seats in the last sentence.

Yuck. With every new bus order, the MTA's buses get blander and blander.

My goodness! That doesn't look good at all. I guess the MCIs don't look so bad because their stainless siding elminates some of that white paint.

It looks fine. It is not the MTA's job to run sexy buses.

+1

(That said, my first impressions on seeing that picture was how much it looked slightly similar to a New Flyer Viking)
