The different (very brightly) coloured Citadis trams in they rolled out in Reims were a big hit: "have you seen the pink one?"

All the renderings I have seen so far have been the "Maple Leaf" design, which I can't say I'm particularly fond of (the "beak" it has is ugly). Many of the units in France seem cleaner and less polarizing design wise.
I can't see having multiple designs at once, since it complicates spare parts and maintenance with no monetary benefit. Paint is easier to change up.
The model they had at the public displays showed the maple leaf design with 5 cars, but the video showed two different lengths, 4 and 5 cars. Which are we getting, or is this a plan for eventual upgrade?
