    On my way to work(Non-Driving Job) I've started to see a lot of the newer internationals going down the interstate. Are they better than the older internationals they use to have?

    Are you talking about the ProStar(International's version of the Cascadia) or the LoneStar(sci-fi looking PT Cruiser type thing)? I've never driven either of them anyway.:biggrin_25525:

    I don't care much for the Prostar, I haven't driven 1 yet,they put the HVAC in the dash instead of under the passenger seat, generally changed things so if you were used to an older binder, you would be lost. I expect that they would ride better, but then, most everything rides better than it's predecessor.

    The Lonestar will turn heads, and it is a step up in quality.

    Drove a Prostar durring training, I liked it, but I like my 9400 more.
    There are a few reliablity issues with the electrics on the pro-stars from what I'm hearing. And old well-maintained 9400 has had most of the bugs worked out.

    Also The prostars have a probelm with the paint comming off the bumpers. So if you see one that's got a ragity bumper it's not because the driver's been using the brail parking method.

    Oh and they've got redundant radio controls on the steering wheel.
