not quite what I was expecting aesthetically, but I'd bet it does what it should and then some... I assume the cosmetics will change somewhat once they get things finalized and rolling onto the showroom floor.

Now, do I want to keep my Renegade or should I be trading up to this puppy?

I can't wait to hear all the disappointment after all the expectation's people have had, I'm sure it will be a great machine but I think it won't be that much more than all the rest because of liability issues. :twocents:

yeah, people sure complain about the disappointment in their outlanders and renegades.

what are these liability issues of which you speak? like the liability issues faced my motorcycle manufacturers and their 300 km/hr sportbikes?

I agree with you totally, but with what happened with the rhino, it seems sxs have been painted with a different brush and are apparently a problem when it comes to liability to your product, just ask yamaha how they feel about it, they have had to add doors, pull out swaybars, and handles, heck they even pulled production for 2010 and went directly to 2011...

Reason why no 2010 rhino economy in the US went for chits and had a way over abundance of stock....so contribute to the failing economy and put a bunch of people outta work rather than reducing prices and make everyone happy

I'm not saying they won't be the best machine out there but some of the wild speculation of 90hp, 1200cc and others is way over the top, I'm sure there are reasons that SXS come detuned compared to there quads with the same engine. i don't know of a stock SXS with more than 50hp(except the prowler1000) where quads can be up in the 75-85hp range.

I would bet my left nut it will have the most HP of all the available stock UTVs currently on the market. as I mentioned earlier, it's BRP's MO....but I also agree some of the rumors regarding engine sizes are downright comedic. but hey, they could put a 2000cc twin in that thing and somebody would still complain it's not enough, and the aftermarket will respond. :beer:
