In the US that choice might be personal freedom because everything is oversized. Adding 6 feet hood to the length your bus and giving up 6LX8WX5H on cubic feet for a given length is not a good option in Europe.
A DN might look cool and impressive, be easier to work on and give a little more crash protection. Not sure how they took care of that in Europe? better engines,
better driver education
? better roads?
