Poll ends at midnight on Tuesday (14/05/19). I'll do more regular, random votes like this, maybe weekly
And on a completely semi-related note, I'm still annoyed that the 21 got LTs rather than the EvoSeti's found on the 185 back in 2016 🙄

All the Volvo hybrid buses are the same, just have different bodies I prefer the linear acceleration of the LT, compared to the nauseating lurch of the Volvo I Shift box

There all rubbish why is the back of the bottom deck so cramped a tall person like myself can't fit in it. I prefer the ADL hybrids.

Wot no SRM? I know it's not in production but it should be there for the sake of completeness. Not that I'd vote for it - in fact it'd be bottom of my list.

Wot no SRM? I know it's not in production but it should be there for the sake of completeness. Not that I'd vote for it - in fact it'd be bottom of my list. The problem with the SRM is the lack of lower deck rear window. Then again all Volvo Hybrids come up short in that department against their opposition (except LT).
In terms of the other Volvo hybrids in reverse order
3rd - Evoseti - It's looks is a bit like marmite. Some think it looks modern and nice whilst others think it looks like a slab sided relic from the 1980s! The bus has a cheap feeling and seems built down to a price. This may or may not be true but the bus gives that perception. In hot weather it makes a horrific noise which emanates from under the stairs and can be heard both inside and outside the bus. Neither the G3 or MMC seem as bad and I would hate to drive a bus making that noise all day long.
2nd - Gemini 3. I prefer the G2 to the G3, but the poll here is for the G3. The front of the G3 is fussy and the bus has huge 'A' pillars at the front of the top deck obstructing the view. On the positive it seems a classier affair than the Evoseti.
1st - ADL MMC. This bus to my eyes is the best looking and has the best interior layout. Seem classier than the Evoseti and at least on par with the G3.

I've yet to discover this loud noise despite riding Evosetis in hot weather and having them pass me on the 35 & 37 on hot days on my way to work so I'll keep my ears open this summer. Personally, I like the look of the Evoseti as I think there is way too much emphasis on curves on some vehicles, nothing wrong with more boxy designs at all. Where I do agree with you is the build quality looks very cheap but maybe that will improve over time? I still don't think the Gemini3 looks particularly nice from any angle but I do find them cooler to ride than a Evoseti or MMC My overall favourite is the MMC - they can be a little stuffy in the summer depending on where you sit but otherwise, I don't really have any faults with them. I agree that it has the best interior & exterior of the latest production double deckers.

6HP502C, Jack Is it possible to unlock the thread until next Tuesday? Unlocked! Thanks! Get voting people! My vote goes to the Gemini 3. Although it's ugly, build quality is great. Much better than the EvoSeti, that's for sure.

Some of my nearby VWHs are just as bad with the loud fan under the stairs, often causing vibration.

Looks like someone hasn't been paying attention you really cannot miss the amount of noise that fan under the stairs makes when it is on. Usually active once the weather starts to get warm.
