MCI G-Series

The MCI G-Series was a pair of long-distance coaches that Motor Coach Industries developed with Greyhound Lines, first as the 102-G3, renamed G4100 in 2001, and then as the 45-foot G4500. It was built as a line-run coach with the cosmetic appeal of the Renaissance but designed to stand up to the hard use of long-haul service. Only 25 of the shorter G4100 were built and put to work by Greyhound as test coaches, and Greyhound and MCI chose the G4500 for production instead. The G models were first built in Mexico under the cooperation between MCI and DINA, and in 2003 MCI moved production of the G4500 to its Winnipeg plant, where it joined the E4500 and J4500 line.
