Better in terms of design, how? Prettier colours?
Certainly not better in terms of utility or functionality as a whole. There are very serious concerns about the delays at station stops versus the older equipment.

What concerns? I havn’t heard anything about delays at station stops with the Azur trains. I take the metro everyday and havn’t noticed any delays either.

Fewer, larger doorways on the Azurs versus more, smaller doorways on the older equipment. There hasn't been much in terms of delays - yet - but there is a concern that it may happen as ridership increases.

Appropriately at a bus stop serving 32 EGLINTON WEST and 171 MOUNT DENNIS routes.

Who needs rails and catenary? Just strap trains on flatbeds as shown above. Instant LRT!

So people on social media are actually complaining about the trains being the wrong colour. I didn’t think anyone would care, but looks like I was wrong!

Please be only the primer paint colour.

There might be an ulterior motive behind leaving them so 'unfinished': Decals. Massive ones, think those ad decals that totally obscure what's underneath, and sometimes the windows too which always pizzes me off as it's eternal greyness inside.
Being the alpha might also mean it's going to be subjected to a lot of 'roughhousing' and eventually finish painted later.

IDK some people from BBD said Metrolinx ordered all of them with Grey as the accent colour

If it will take 7 months with a full closure, I can't imagine how long any alternative plan would take. What are the chances Metrolinx just uses its Crown Rights and tells the City to shove it?

What you propose is a terrible solution, absolutely awful. The alternatives are even worse...Surely the City saw this coming? Yonge and Bloor have endured much worse. The Entitled want their transit and eat it too...
