The way I drive mine, that 5 foot might be a lifesaver. ::)

Frankly if I'm ok with 35' of space I'll get a 40' truck conversion that has a 5' nose and 35' of living area. I love my bus but these things are a pain to support and fix and find shops to fix

Dina still build buses I see new Dina buses on tour here in Az all the time neat looking buses too.Dina only had a 6% stake in MCI if the bus magazines are correct

The information I found (from multiple sources) is this: In 1994 Dina purchased Motor Coaches Industries International Inc. (MCII), the largest manufacturer of intercity bus coaches in the United States, for US$311.6 million in stock and debt securities. This acquisition made Dina the largest bus manufacturer in North America, with annual revenues of US$1.4 billion.

See http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/consorcio-g-grupo-dina-s-a-de-c-v-history/

I had read something about DINA going out of business around 2007, but that was wrong as it appears DINA is still making buses even today.

And one of those investment companies got it after that, and Flyer Industries has owned it for a little while now...

MCI has been one of the most kicked around companies...

There was one point, quite a few years ago, the ownership had changed some 35 times.

Got to be well over 40 by now?

There's a research project for a budding investment industry student?

happy coaching!

The way I read it was Dina was wanting to acquire all the MCI stock and KPS was asking to much for their stake of 40% so Dina was forced to sell to KBS which later took MCI to Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure the debit and ended up costing KBS nothing for the Dina stock.  
Oh the world of finances will amaze you it does me anyways, KBS has a stake in New Flyer along with Brazilian Maropolo which has a big stake in Dina
