It seemed to me the issue with the 4 cylinder StreetDecks on the X21 was that the gearbox just wasn't suited to the fast roads it travels on, and I believe the 6 cylinder has the same unit?
On the motorway it sounded like the StreetDecks were sitting not far off the rev limiter to maintain the ~50mph. Obviously I'm not an engineer, but I feel like an extra gear to let it sit at a lower RPM at the faster speeds would help with the reliability.
I might be mistaken, but because the 6 cylinder one doesn't qualify for low emissions exemptions it doesn't have a 50mph limiter and can do the full 62mph? I can't imagine they regularly put a bus on the X9/X10 that could only do 50. I'm just assuming here, and can't remember my mate on the X9/X10 rota whinging about it being slow, quite the opposite in fact.
