Addition of the "fusion" livery between the Power Unit and the trailing car minimized the break between the straight sided Unit and the contoured car.
Could have the unit been redesigned so as to have contoured side? In all likelihood, yes.
Would that redesign have a price? Of course. Just think if the redesign worked out to be $100K a unit, that would have added $5.6M to the contract.
I know some disagree, especially within the advocacy community ("they won't give us back full service Dining"}; but they "ain't dumb" at One Mass. I've known enough of 'em along the way to affirm that first hand.
