Yuccch!! They are UGLY!!!!!!!!

Yeah, they are pretty ugly. The side view isn't so bad but the head-on view is. These locomotives seem to be working out well for Metra so, this should be a good thing for GO.

I don't think they're ugly, but the paint job on the GO units is sorely lacking. The Metra units look a lot better.

But as Italiancanuck89 implied, the machinery's good, and that's really what counts. What good's a shovelnose E5 if it doesn't pull?

I think the problem is that badly proportioned four panel windshield that looks like grasshopper eyes. The paint job as seen from the front view enhances the insect-like appearance.
