Since they already owned MCi, and could have total control of the design, they improved MCI to be better than the contemporary GM products, and kept all of the profits within the corporation. And as I mentioned, GM was leary of fighting the government further, so they decided to not fight back, and just quietly drop out of the market.
The Flxible Vistaliner, as well as the later HiLevel, and final Flxiliner, were nice buses, that offered the smooth Torsilastic suspended ride, but were not really competitive with the contemporary GMC PD-4104, '06, and '07 models.....exactly why, I can't answer, but not many companies bought them...
Continental Trailways perhaps bought the most, but as soon as they developed their own Eagle's, they stopped buying the Flxible's....
