I take the New Flyer LFR over the LF and the NABI Classic LFW, 416, and BRT over the NABI Restyled. The LFA I can tolerate.

I'd take the LFR, was never a big fan of NABIs.

I'm guessing this survey is about the looks and not functionality of the bus? If so I have to vote LFR. The only thing is that front door....

"One of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn't belong..."

All the others are pretty good though the LFR and XXBRT have their front door quirks. The 416/40SFW, however, is fugly. Very fugly. Especially when the destination sign area is NOT black. Case in point: the 5200's at WMATA as delivered vs. post-rehab.

I'm going with New Flyer on this one.  I like the NABI 416 and 436 OK, but as far as the restyled 416 and BRTs, ugh.  Not a fan of the LFA either, but I would take it over the aforementioned BRT.  And of course, I like the LF and LFR.

What is it about the front doors on the LFR that they open and close slow? I like the ones on the D40LFRs it looks like two different doors.

No you can say anything this is an open survey.

In terms of appearance/personal preference some know that it's all about the LF for me.  I liked NABIs (both high and low floor) unitl that newfangled restyled front end came along.  The NABI BRT are OK, but I like them without the wheel covers.  I'm OK with the LFR except the front door, especially those with the simulated frameless windows.  The LFAs, I can tolerate a bit without the wheelcovers.
