And lets be honest, they do look a damn site nicer plus the sleeper cabs are

No they don't, they look stupid. Plus not only is there the wasted
space where they seem to want to put the engine, there's usually a
****load of wasted space *behind* the cab, too, before you reach the
trailer.

Deive both across the continebt and then tell me which is the
"better" design. The long wheelbase "conventional" is a much more
comfortable and capable transcontinental truck - while the euro style
COE is better for intown deliveries and tooting around winding
back-country lanes - which is why "different horses for different
courses" comes into play.
