@TurnedTheCorner:
Have I? I don't like them either. At the risk of someone digging up an older post where it may seem that I argued for them, I was probably either playing devil's advocate or was arguing more for the seating arrangement philosophy (longitudinal or "perimeter," "inward facing").
I really don't prefer the bucket seats over bench seating, but acknowledge they do provide some benefits. More correctly, I dislike the current arrangement of poles, handholds, stanchions, seating arrangement and seat type (bucket) as it has been executed on the Series 8 cars. All of these elements factor into a suboptimal situation.
