I can't tell you why but I know that Redline just got 80+ Rhinos in and all of them are 2009's. Perhaps it has something to do with the law suits in the U.S. I did see on other forums that there are not supposed to be any major changes for 2010, unless you had your heart set on owning a white Rhino.

no i was just wondering if they are taking their time to add electric power steering. I'm also just trying to figure out my options i haven't made up my mind if i want a RZR or a Rhino yet, so it would be nice to see what the 2010s look like.

The rumor I heard was they were going to come out with power steering and a 900 twin. Rumor has it they are now debating the twin because of all the law suits. I heard they may release the 2010 in Feb. and no one is talking about what changes there may be.

They were set to release the 2010 last spring (Feb i think) but after the safety update (which was from the lawsuits) They held of the release until the new model can be adjusted and tested so that you dont buy a brand new machine just to find out that you have to go back and get a recall done.
I also dont know about the features but there were some spy photos last febuary that showed a STOCK 4 seater rhino (and no not just a cage and seats or streched limo version) and it had powersteering. IMO Yamaha is very cautious to make sure that the machine they sell you is of the best quality and will not have and major problems. Look at the 660 Griz once it came out it was the same for many years
just my 2 bits

Yup I too believe Yamaha make a quality product. This coming from a long time Honda guy. Anyway I'm very pleased with my 08 Rhino and will be waiting for the 2010 to come out to upgrade.

The only changes for 2010 are new seat belts and colors Yawn.Of well it makes my09 still current.I saw a 2010 grizzly in the white with ghost flames at the dealer and it looked pretty cool.Yamaha has great products but does not update too frequently

Yawn is right. I won't be upgrading unless they come out with the 900 twin.
