I'm a little confused; maybe you could supply a source? I have never heard of "Triplex" cars, or that they (M6's) had automated announcements. Around the shop & yard, M series cars were referred to as pairs or triplets, not anything else. Keo 19:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

- As it is, I'm considering moving this article to M2 (railcar). The move of Budd Metropolitians to Budd Metropolian was done by an admin who didn't know that the name Metropolitans/Cosmopolitans were a branding name that covered the entire fleet and not the name proper. Given how the Metropolitan and Cosmopolitan branding names are at best historical and that staff and riders know them by the technical class names the MTA gave them, it'd make sense to rename the articles for simplicity's sake.
Besides, on the other side of the transit coin the page for the GMC/MCI/NovaBus Classic is named Classics (transit bus) even though the name of the series never, ever, had an s in it. Scrabbleship 10:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Falacy?
I believe that this statement is wrong:
Nearly identical to the M4s and, these cars have the distinction of being one of the last with wholly American construction.
Having worked on the M6s, I think I recall that the shells (car bodies) were actually manufactured in South America (Brazil I believe) and then shipped to the MK factory in NY where everything else was added to the car bodies (trucks, machinery, interior...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.24.6.134 (talk) 02:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
