Those Scania T trucks are ugly. Make a real US looking truck, or a EU looking truck, not a mix of the two....

Actually the Scania T-models were popular in the 80s/90s because the engines were very accessible and they were also a bit safer in crash situation.
These days most trucks swivel their cabin with a push of a button and crash safety has improved a lot.

Then there is also a third economic reason why Scania no longer produces long nose trucks. Truck is europe have maximum lengths with a general maximum length of 18 meters. A long nose in front of a cabin - often longer than a meter - means the can't haul the longer trailers. One of our truck company customers still has a T124 on it's property, but he only uses it to move trailers on his yard. The euro 3 truck isn't allowed anymore in many cities.

I think they look ok, but that's my opinion. Coming from someone who sees conventional trucks on a daily basis. Yes @zyprexia the truck is not an official truck from Scania. The truck was made by Vlastuin a truck customization shop in the Netherlands. Still I would love to see a US specific scania here in the US, with a v8 aswell :D In fact I hope they do better than last time they were here, when they sold 3 series trucks.

I would love to see Scania enter the US market. I think my favourite truck to see on US roads is by far the Volvo! Maybe I just can't break away from my European roots.
