Although I don't like the slanted windshield, its still a sharp looking bus. Nice to see these out of the factory. Can't wait to see these in person in a couple of months.
That Intellipark is truly a sad sight to behold, at least for me. I know a lot of drivers hate the feeling they get when they pull the parking brake knob and therefore this is better for them, but I prefer the knob for its simplicity, the satisfaction of knowing the parking brake is set just by pulling it, and if the valve ever goes bad, it's a relatively inexpensive fix. Electronic parking brakes are better suited for hydraulic brakes, not air.
When it came to school buses I was definitely an IC fan for sure and man does this bus look really nice. Looks similar to a Thomas C2 but however is nothing like it to me. Can't wait to see them drive around someday.
Okay, now who let IC tour the Thomas factory? They seem to have taken pictures of their blueprints and mashed them into their own. Anyways, congrats on getting one of the, if not the first, walk around of the 3rd gen CE! Great video!
Makes sense, because I remember reading an article about 5 years ago that was explaining how when Thomas/Freighliner discontinued the FS65, it was to introduce the Saf-T-Liner C2, which would be a more transit-style bus and more spacious and aerodynamic than other styles. It also said that other brands like IC (Navistar) and Blue Bird were looking into following the same design because they noticed a sales drop when Thomas introduced the C2 and then they saw a larger drop when Thomas introduced the HDX. IC hasn’t been doing well on neither the RE bus and they discontinued the FE style. Blue Bird is doing good on their styles (you can see I don’t pay much attention to Blue Bird) because they already had an aerodynamically sound design, they just didn’t have a lot of space; now they do.

Glad we are still making diesel busses, none of that electric nonsense. I rode the early 2000s IC busses as a kid

Awesome video! Congrats for being the 1st walk around video of the 3rd gen CE!
Very nice bus! I cannot wait to see what it looks like in person. So far my thoughts on it are it’s a pretty nice looking IC

Nice! Congrats!
This bus looks so nice and the dash looks so awesome.
Those look awesome.
About time they refresh the IC bus line. They had refreshed the international trucks a few years back but still had the old design for the bus.
WOW! That's a nice new IC CE bus. I like the interior, such as the new turn signal. 😮🙂
AWESOME!
I wish there was a video of you or someone driving it
It'll be good to see how that new door works
Very nice
I liked this bus, I can't wait my district buys it.
Nice looking bus bro.
It looks so nice
