Well, it's a known product. At this point streetcars are still not common in American cities, so when selling the idea to decision makers it helps to say "look, it's the same as the very successful one in another city". As more American cities build streetcars, inevitably there will start to be more variety.

But yeah, I agree some of those Siemens LRVs from the 90s were just awful.
