I think I just prefer what I'd call "proper" single decks, ones that looked like they'd be able to cope with anything. Stuff like the entire Wright Eclipse Urban/Solar/Pulsar line, the Renown, the ELC European, hell even the Temsa Avenue. The StreetLite and E200MMC to me always just looked like mini/midibuses which had been stretched - much like those X-GGO Darts ANE had a few years back.
I actually prefer the First one (by that I mean the second image, of the First branded bus lol)
But, I think just changing the black panel on the front to match makes it look 10x better.

It's no-where near the ugliest single mind, not even Wright.
That goes to the Handybus that looks like the glass fell over when they we're designing it and they just thought meh that's pretty cool - https://www.flickr.com/photos/andysbusph...2456640111 the alignment is off everywhere aswell. Ugly things.
I did say 'one' of the ugliest!
