Crowdsourcing this sort of thing seems like a really good idea to me.

Shepard, I agree with you; I'd rather see a windshield like the one on the Lumina APV.

I can tell you from experience, though, even good engineers sometimes put out designs that aren't as good as the ones they had in mind. The "use existing cab with no modifications" constraint looks to me like it came from a bean counter, not a designer.
