That is odd, it does here...
Well I went to the site in your link, pointed at future travel, clicked on products/trains, and clicked on the 'nieuw' in red. Maybe it will work if you try that?

Well the link works for me! What is it with the Dutch and having some really ugly trains? That HST looks hideous! You need a train like the TGV/Thalys or the ICE that actually looks fast even if it's standing still.

I know, the odd thing is, is that normal trains (for standard or intercity use) look even better IMO. (Some look maybe even faster.)

The Koploper has a Badguy look

The V-IRM a bit of a dont [beep] with me.
The Sprinter looks very friendly.
The GTW`s looks like a female sextoy

Wadlopers are just Legoblocks on wheels.
The new HiSpeed one, hmm, Its a computer rendering so i thing the nose would be a bit longer, i think i am gonna like it because of its uglyness.

And the desinger of that train is really proud of his/her work?

This must be a joke.
An electric train with a radiator?
No red tail-lights visible.

And then the slogan:" NS Hispeed opent nieuwe wegen."
Translated: :" NS Hispeed opens new roads."

The last one could be slightly possible if you translate it back to American-English, then you would say: Rail
road.
