New Maytag competition aimed at Speed Queen

I sense consensus on this Maytag vs the SQ.

But lets make it more interesting shall we?
What manufacturer could give SQ a go on their TL machine using
an existing design, not necessily currently marketed, but with judicious modifications to better meet the challenge?
Of course this will probably again invole some Whirlpool product, being they pooled up so many firms under their belt.

Don't get too carried away, remember it's got to turn some kind of profit.
What platform with what key design elements would win you over?

I'm gonna through one out, color! I don't care what machine you all come up with i vote for some cool color splashed on them panels.

I don't think Speed Queen is worried either, considering the majority of their business goes to commercial customers anyway. What's sad is WP (or GE for that matter), could totally blow them out of the water with a modern rendition of an older design. They both have some pretty deep pockets!

What this "new" Maytag tells me is that WP has indeed noticed that SQ has a good old reliable product and they have probably lost just enough customers that they are tying to promote their own "old reliable" machine. Based on the reviews I read about it, most people seem to be very happy with it so far. The longer warranty is def a good selling point.
