Here's an artist drawing, from the CTA I believe. For comparison here's a 3200 wrapped in honor of the then Championship Chicago White Sox, on a charter at 63/Ashland on the Green line.

CTA is sticking to its accepted design lines, except for the interior seating. The 5000s also mark the third fleet nonconformity in the CTA history. In the 1950s, the PCCs could not train with the 4000s or the wood steels. Then in the 60s came the high performance cars that could not train with the PCCs. Now comes the 5000s which cannot train with the high performance cars.
