@@K3Parumi Judging from the description of Odakyu documents, the general and interior designs are more close to the "fancier" models of Romancecars like VSE and RSE. I would personally take a guess in the new Romancecar replacing EXE in terms of fleet size, but rather replace currently GSE&EXEα-runned higher-end services like Super Hakone, and thus hierarchically phase out EXE trains with these trains freed form the current services.
