It looks like an E-jet with the nose stretched out a bit. A bit like a pelican.

I don't want to fly no Mitsubishi jet!! banghead

(I won't give up the spot but prefer CRJ's & ERJ's over those)

Just do you know, mitsubishi makes the aft ends of the CRj7/9 so, you are already flying Mitsubishi hardware.

From a passenger standpoint, I'm 6'5''. The ERJ's are great, the CRJ's, I might as well be crawling down the isle. Feel like I'm sitting in a cessena 150. Awful! If these have more space, the sooner the better!
