They could just put a different body over the same mechanical components used in other models. Automakers do it all the time.
They already are.

I tend to agree. Using random orthogonal lines seems just as lazy.Those are all ugly as hell.
OMG amazing! I wonder how they'll hold up.I tend to agree. Using random orthogonal lines seems just as lazy.
I can see the reasoning for the colours on our new cars. The intent was to look modern and fresh but still retain a sense of familiarity. The new streetcars's paintscheme calls upon the CLRV's scheme, while omitting the grey and proportioning it to the vehicle. These cars do stand out. They have a bright red front and bright LED headlights.
But if you really want to stand out, check out Lyon's latest chromed trams.
Johnny, do not do that again. I initially thought that was real. You almost gave me a heart attack. Gosh that looks horrible.![]()
I made the changes:The maroon isn't maroon enough in that picture - it's too red. I'd love to see them paint 5 or 10 in the old livery for novelty.

Note that I have sampled the average colour of the PCC vehicle to create the maroon. Note that the TTC's PCC vehicle's maroon is slightly reddish.
TTM, I had warned you not to laugh, as it is clearly meant to be a joke. Yes, I am that good with Photoshopping to the point that I can fool others into thinking that it is real.
Good thing that the CLRVs are given a red-and-white colour scheme and not use the same colour scheme as the PCCs, or else we would see Flexities with the PCC colour scheme.
There is a reason why tastes in colour schemes change over time and some colour schemes do not stand the test of time.
Be glad that this is the actual colour scheme of the Flexities:

Too bad you couldn't play with the fonts with with the numbers used:

After some time of browsing at pics of PCCs and Peter Witts, it really looks like the Peter Witts have been reincarnated into the new Flexities. This mainly being the similar shape of the front and end![]()
