Traditionally, Optare products have been futuristic. In my opinion the Delta for example was way ahead of its competitors, and current single deck Optare designs, still bare a striking resemblance to the Delta. But the Metrodekka design falls far short of these designs. I know the current wrightbus gemini 3 is an aquired taste, but it does have style and character, but I am still undecided about it myself. I have never been a lover of Dennis products, or ADL deckers but i am loath to admit that the ADL e400Mmc is the most attractive double deck design on the market. I am only talking about the bodywork design, not the engine or drivetrain. And dont mention the New Routemaster (Borismaster). I care not to use bad language on this forum lol.I really do like the Gemini II body work as well as the Plaxton President on a trident motor. I'm not really a fan of the streetdeck/metrodeck/whatever stagecoach has with unpronounceable name. They look a bit weird to me.
Haven't looked at the G3 bodywork enough to notice anything from the G2.
