Thumbs up Love those European cab-overs.

I really love the European COE's (cab over engine). It's too bad they never caught on (or were even introduced) in the USA. The maneuverability of COE's is amazing.
Unfortunately, American's like their big hoods. The bigger the better. The Peterbilt 379 Extended Hood; Kenworth W900; Mack Superliner, etc.
I really like the looks of your COE's. Their sleek, modern, with a short wheelbase and still have a usable sleeper.
I've driven Mack, Freightliner and Kenworth cab-overs.
We still have some good conventionals, with a shorter wheelbase and shorter hood. My favorite for an easily maneuverable (short wheelbase), livable (stand-up sleeper), safe and has a short hood, would have to be Volvo.

TRUCKING! IT'S NOT JUST A JOB, IT'S AN ADVENTURE!
