Well in my opinion, i think bus designs have slowed down in a way. What I mean by that is a 12-13 year old bus like the Gemini's today can look as modern as a current vehicle even the latest designs from WrightBus etc. however if you compared a current 12-13 year old bus to a 1988-1989 bus. It looks obviously a lot older.
