User Posted February 13, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 13, 2013 I saw this on New Flyer's news this morning. New Flyer is going to become huge and its good for them. I like the way the Xcelsiors are built and if there's no Orion, I have no problem with seeing New Flyers everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
