Siemens placed a full-page color advertisment/announcement on page A20 of the 11/2/2010 edition of THE WASHINGTON POST including an artist's redition of the locomotive.  Spectacular!  It looks a whole lot better than "the toaster" (AEM7).

I know. Basically an American version of the Taurus/Eurosprinter. I just wonder if they'll have the stepped acceleration like the other Taurus locs.
