I hope this thread doesn't spiral down to the COE vs CONV debate. I hope it would be used more to exchange info about the appropriate use of cabovers in a market that is starved for them, i.e. developments like this one in the same magazine:

The Argosy doesn't have a 4 point air suspension, and the "ride" imo is acceptable. The law of physics applies to this machine as any other, wheelbase, location of the driver in relation to the axles and his height above that line (pitch/yaw) can be calculated for any vehicle or truck and scientific conclusions drawn about how to manage those forces. In a modern cabover, particularly the European ones, they have been managed better than the cabovers most drivers in this forum remember, designs dating back to 1982, when IH released the 9600 and made almost no changes until withdrawing the model from the US in 1999( it is still made in South Africa for export)
Gee, we had a CB radio for communication back then and used to freeze our collective rear off at a payphone waiting for dispatch. Times and designs do get better over time.
