Well the new Mack is out and it is called the Pioneer. Volvo clone with Mack hood and grill. Should have placed the Mack logo in the center of the grill instead of the bottom. I like the looks of the Anthem better. The pioneer will have a much improved interior I guess. Rumor has it that the Pinnacle axle forward will be dropped. Mack will not have a competitor in the long hood market leaving the likes of Paccar, Daimler and VW the lone providers. This would be a shame. The Mack Pinnacle axle forward is a good looking truck in my opinion. They are seen all over the Boston area.

Yep, you are going to see the Anthem take the place of the Pinnacle now for regional and vocational tractor.

From what KS says this is one hell of a truck! He ought to know! But they still need to change that grill and headlight area to make it look more like a classic Acar.

I said same thing first time I saw one..get rid of that curve on top and for sure by today's standards a winner in the looks department.  From a safety viewpoint I also like that stand alone turn signal

Yes, same with the MD....I'd rather have old school turn signals on top of fenders.

Biggest thing I hate about the Anthem is those air intake vents on the sides of the hood. Could they not have designed something a little more eye appealing?

Yeah, it took me a while to get used to them. Also futuristic front end was hard to swallow now I really like the way they look, especially like you just said.
