QUOTE: Originally posted by corailfan They also have a commercial running on TV right now too, I just saw it tonight. It is celebrating anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental as well as talking about the Evolution Loco, quite timely. Actually a really good ad (better than most out there)...but now I want one, I guess I should probably start saving!
QUOTE: Originally posted by dharmon That's why I'd go with a EMD right now. GMAC is doing up to 72 mos at 0% financing (in lieu of the 2000 cash back) on new vehicles (excluding Corvettes, Hummers, and SSRs)......so can't beat that...

Yeah, but the SD70ACe is an ugly looking locomotive when compared to GE's offerings. Might as well ride in something that looks halfway decent. [;)] Too bad the camera doesn't linger a bit longer on the GE loco before the commercial ends. Wonder if there's an option for a sunroof and a six disc CD changer?? [:D]

[:D] I think I am the only one in America who likes the look of the SD-70ACe. I think it has a rugged look--not unlike the original geep. For some reason, I find the GEs to have a generic look. Tomato Tomato I guess, Gabe

Tomato Tomato I guess, Gabe Gabe........I am with you all the way......so now the count is two people likeing the SD70ACe. They just look powerfuland can really pull (if they really can I don't know, I am assuming so since they have AC traction motors). Not to mention the nothced corners of the nose is an big plus..........(ALCo trademark), I am just waiting till UP sends one into town by me...I am going to be all over that.

QUOTE: Originally posted by wabash1 you guys didnt even listen to the words of the ad. in it they said it is the cleanest locomotive they ever built. . not the cleanest ever built just what they built. and they are trying to imitate the long standing emd series again. emd will never die. ge will just try and imitate them
QUOTE: Originally posted by farmer03 haven't seen the gevo commercial but i've seen one or 2 for NS. btw....saw metallica in chicago last august...my ears are still ringing! awesome show

Another way of saying it would be that GE finally believes enough in the railroad business to acturally run a pretty good ad. Worth thinking about would'nt you say?[2c]
