I for one really dislike the nose treatment which bears a strong resemblance to a IHC truck, but then again those same IHC trucks are selling

I like the grill work on the Trip a bit better than the Vesta and then again I like the rear cap on the Trip better as well. I'm not the type that goes for a lot of angles. In my opinion the grill on the Trip is more restrained.

At this time there are 3 front engined RV models and one RDP that use the MaxxForce7. I expect that we'll see more soon. Monaco will be going with an entire line of MaxxForce engines that will use AEGR beginning as soon as the current supply of 07 (Cummins) engines is exhausted.

The rear treatments I could live with, it's just something about the grille work.

I think that the MaxxForce13 motor is a little small for a Signature. I sure wouldn't want to give up 200-250 horses from my Sig.

Waiting in the wings is the MaxxForce15. It's using the CAT C15 iron and all the MaxxForce AEGR bolt on technology. I expect that this will be the standard engine for the Signature. I think we'll see that come about shortly. Whatever "07" motors they have now will be used until exhausted. MF15 is coming.

Your concern is valid. I'm expecting that the MF13 is not going to power the 2011 or later Signatures. I have amended my remark.
