The 3rd gen CE is clearly a C2. I wonder how Thomas feels about this mirror that is from a C2. I wish they would have continued the 2nd gen mirror style. I honestly never cared for that style on the C2. I have preferred the full style on C2's. But I am not a huge fan of them. The bus looks beautiful. Now I wonder if IC will produce an actuall diecast model of the 3rd gen CE.

The chassis on the 3rd gen looks like an Internationalized Freightliner. But the 3rd gen IC CE has looks of other buses. But the IC CE has a modified Ward/AmTran body. I do see the Interior dash from the center to the door frame looks like a C2. But everything else is an IC CE. The 2dnd gen CE had more parts in common to the Vision. It is a big selling bus.
