Now, I'm not British. I don't mind the look of 59s and 66s, and I think 58s are ugly. I still say this new one is worse. As with GEs vs. EMDs in North America, it seems GE can't make a passable cab.
But, seriously, I recognize the visibility advantages of this design. Like the 58, a "dogbone" configuration maximizes forward visibility in both directions while allowing some rearward visibility. And the single windshield is obviously best.
