As we should all know by now, Nova will be re-entering the U.S. market. They have already approved construction of a new factory in Plattsburgh, NY.

When Nova Bus first introduced the LFS in the U.S. market, it failed to live up to Nova's expectations. The failure of the LFS and declining sales of the RTS eventually led Nova to exit the U.S. market in 2002.

Ever since Nova has left the U.S. market, the LFS has seen great improvements. Nova now even offers an articulated LFS as well as a diesel-electric hybrid model.

So, with the improvements made to the LFS, I was wondering, could it fare better this time in the U.S. market? This will give U.S. TAs a third option for articulated buses in addition to New Flyer and NABI.
