I'm just not lovin' these things. They're too large. When is "enough is enough" when it comes to ambulances?! Yeah, it's beter than a van, like when I started out 25 years ago, but these things are getting out of hand! I remember seeing Cambridge (Mass.) Fire Department's Spartan Metro cab ambulance a few years ago at FDIC and thinking the same thing.
In My Humble Opinon, if you want to go with an ambulance with the large commercial cab, then the Chevy/GMC, International and Freightliner are just fine for that. Why do we need a 4 door "custom" cab on an ambulance??? I realize that maybe there is SCBA storage in the back seats, but do we REALLY need a Spartan Furion cab just for that?!
Just my two cents here.

I agree Jeff. Also only Gary, Indiana is allowed to have Blue over Red. West County is not Ghetto enough.
