Unfortunately the design of these cars is very similar to Amtrak's California Cars, which are based on the Superliner, which are based on the Santa Fe's El Capitan cars dating back to 1955.

The Michigan Services already use Superliners, so visually there will be very little change from the existing cars. Hopefully Michigan at least follows on the white and maroon paint scheme of the Talgos. The paint scheme on California Cars is different than Amtrak's insipid red/white/blue scheme.

On the positive side, look at the nearly level boarding!
