The '''[[Motor Coach Industries]] D4500''' was originally known as the [[Motor Coach Industries 102-DL3|102-DL3]]. Like the 102-DL3, these coaches were available with fluted stainless steel on the lower body. In 2006, MCI introduced the updated versions of the D4500, the [[Motor Coach Industries D4500CL|"Classic" (CL)]] and [[Motor Coach Industries D4500CT|"Contemporary" (CT)]] models.  
The '''[[Motor Coach Industries]] D4500''' is an intercity and commuter motorcoach. It was introduced as the [[Motor Coach Industries 102-DL3|102-DL3]] and was renamed to follow the naming conventions established with the launch of new coaches in 2001. In 2005, MCI introduced the updated versions of the D4500: the [[Motor Coach Industries D4500CL|D4500 "Classic"]] and [[Motor Coach Industries D4500CT|D4500 "Contemporary"]]. The latter has a revised front fascia and flush-mounted windows.
 
Like the 102-DL3, the D4500 was available with fluted stainless steel on the lower body. Other options included a wheelchair left and bi-parting plug-type entrance door.
