    Wouldn't they have been better off stealing the roof design from Peterbilt than Freightliner? It just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the truck?

    That Cornbinder "LoneStar" is about as whacked as Ive seen
    in many years. Nothing "cool" or "nice" about them,honestly looks like they were built by Barjan* :biggrin_2556:

    This truck is all about efficiency in air flow. KW claim is that it is now better than the rest with this design in saving fuel. T-2000 was the best truck for "comfort" I've ever been in butt ugly and definitely not cool, gotta save save fuel. I still wish COE were around thats probably why I like driving them.

    Oh come on. It doesn't look as hideous as Freightliner's half-breed, the Coronado.:biggrin_25523:

    Man oh man, these truck designers seriously need to start appealing to the buyers market in terms of looks, it IS possible to have looks and fuel mileage.

    This truck is a glorified mini-van and looks absolutely horrible, I wouldn't want to be seen behind the wheel of that thing anywhere, EVER!

    The day they stop making the W900L is the day I quit trucking. Long hoods, air cleaners, stacks, steps and fuel tanks made out of ALUMINUM and showing, not hidden, is what a truck is.

    Only 2 aerodynamic trucks I would buy, and that's the T660 and the T800, and I would still order the T800 with stacks and air cleaners.

    I couldn't agree more....The first time I saw a Lonestar I thought it was the cheesiest looking truck I ever saw but I figured I would wait and it would grow on me....

    I'm still waiting, That's just one ugly MoFo!
