That being said, I don't really buy your logic at all. A city full of ugliness is ugly. A city filled with beautiful things is beautiful.

LOL... Speaking of logic are you saying that women who don't look like your wife are ugly? No reflection on your wife but just speaking for myself I have been privileged to know a couple of airheads; not that they didn't have their positive attributes of course.
For many, many years Mercedes kept their same "style;" it was what was under the hood that mattered. I've tended to favor function over style.
Perhaps a little context would be appropriate. The decision on the Siemens light rail cars was made over 20 years ago and I don't recall the process. The T-REX vote came in 1999. Whether any consideration was given at that time to switching horses or styles I don't recall but once they decided to go with the same light rail cars, then the rest of the system
logically would stay with the same. This all occurred prior to the Fastracks vote. Had Denver not made their selection until the mid-2000's like many other cities the choice might have been different.
With respect to the commuter rail cars I do prefer the "sleek" model, all things being equal; but given the size of the investment I'd guess that styling was well down the list of priorities. I can't speak to their "logic" however.
